The primary responsibility of the role is S1000D authoring and maintenance. The incumbent will develop, edit, and maintain data modules, data sets, and illustration references in accordance with S1000D (versions 3.0 through 4.1). Should have an familiarity with BREX rules and Customer Business decision templates. A key element of the position is supplier data acceptance and integration. The author will review inbound supplier deliverables—such as data modules, illustrations, and video/audio media—to verify S1000D compliance, completeness, and alignment with the program's Contract Data Requirements List's (CDRL's). The role requires coordinating technical reviews with suppliers, issuing non‑conformance notifications when needed, and tracking the resolution of those issues through the Supplier Management Portal. Validated supplier data will then be imported into the internal authoring environment (e.g., Arbortext, Contenta), with full audit‑trail maintenance to support configuration control. Technical writing and documentation support are also critical. The author will produce supporting narrative, procedural, and maintenance instructions that complement the S1000D modules, adhering to business decisions and all applicable customer specifications. When outsourcing authoring tasks, the incumbent will generate Statements of Work (SOW) that clearly define scope, deliverables, schedule, and quality metrics. Project and schedule management duties include developing and maintaining delivery schedules for emerging projects, ensuring that authoring milestones are synchronized with overall system development timelines. The author will actively participate in Integrated Product Team (IPT) meetings, offering status updates, risk assessments, and technical clarifications to both internal teams and third‑party suppliers. In the realm of quality assurance and continuous improvement, the author will compile QCPC (Quality Clinic Process Chart) metrics for completed publications, conduct root‑cause analyses on any defects, and produce corrective‑action reports. Support for internal and external AS9100 audits is required, supplying the necessary documentation and evidence of compliance. The role also contributes to process‑improvement initiatives designed to boost authoring efficiency, promote data reuse, and strengthen supplier collaboration. Finally, stakeholder collaboration is a core part of the role. You'll work directly with program managers, contracts, finance, engineering, and external customers to clarify requirements, iron out data inconsistencies, and support cost‑to‑price analyses. As the go‑to S1000D expert, you'll routinely advise cross‑functional teams on best‑practice authoring, the most effective tooling, and optimal data‑management strategies, helping the organization maintain consistent, high‑quality technical publications.

You are a dynamic and results-oriented professional with a passion for driving operational excellence and optimizing production processes. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are adept at managing complex projects while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

Standards Knowledge – Working knowledge of S1000D (v3.0‑4.1), MIL‑STD‑81927AS, MIL‑STD‑40051, and AS9100 quality‑system requirements. Software Proficiency – Comfortable using Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and basic data‑analysis tools.
