Alert Innovation, now powered by Walmart, is a fast-growing venture on a mission to reinvent retail through robotics. We've partnered with Walmart to develop our Alphabot® technology, which is currently being deployed at stores throughout North America.

We're seeking a Technical Writer to create e-learning courses, product user manuals, service manuals & technical training documentation. You will work with engineering and operations teams to gain a working understanding of the overall product functionality. This information needs to be distilled into training materials, assembly instructions, maintenance procedures, troubleshooting guides, etc.

Our work is challenging, fun, and rewarding. We seek to hire people who want work to be meaningful and strive for excellence in a team-oriented culture.

  • Draft, revise, publish, and maintain product documentation, including e-learning courses, training materials, assembly instructions, maintenance procedures, etc.
  • Proactively solicit information from subject matter experts.
  • Work closely with the team lead to manage schedules for delivering product documentation.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

  • 5 to 10 years of experience in technical writing, preferably for electro-mechanical products.
  • Some technical understanding of how electro-mechanical products operate.
  • An ability to convey highly technical concepts in simple terms, in many cases such that the content can be understood by non-technical readers.
  • Experience creating and editing technical customer-facing documents, including user manuals, assembly instructions, service manuals and technical sales literature.
  • Must be proficient with commonly used authoring tools such as Madcap® Flare, Adobe RoboHelp, Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, etc.
  • Experience with learning & development programs, training courses and using learning management systems efficiently.
  • Need to have previous experience in handling CAD models, 3D concepts, exploded views, analyzing engineering drawings and review bills of material, etc.
  • Experience using CAD tools to extract images, ability to manipulate models and isolate subassemblies to enrich documentation.
  • Web development exposure.
  • Degree in Mechanical or Electrical engineering, English, technical communication, writing, or related field.
