Technical Writer Technology in Stamford, CT

Technical Writer Job Description

Technical writers must interpret complex issues and communicate information to broad audiences clearly and concisely. Through developing an appreciation of the needs of end users, technical writers may help improve the design of a product in the prototype stage. Technical writers develop relationships across divisions and conduct research with the help of technical specialists to produce instruction manuals, how-to guides, journal articles and other company communications that are consistent and easily understood. As more companies use social media to convey messaging to clients and employees, technical writers are called upon to incorporate graphics, multidimensional images, sound and video into their work. Usually a bachelor’s degree in a communications or technical discipline, or several years’ experience in a technical role is required.

Typical technical writer duties:

Synthesizing and clearly summarizing the specifications, design, features and operation of company applications

Writing and developing user manuals, help systems and other technical documents for ease of use

Working with technical staff, software applications and equipment to provide engaging content with photography, video, graphics and social media
