Senior Technical Writer

2 weeks ago

Pittsburgh, United States Carnegie Mellon University Full time

About the role

Do you love to shape ideas, address structural challenges in writing, and craft words and paragraphs that engage the reader? Are you enthusiastic about copyediting, style guides, and quality control? Would you like to work with leaders in the fields of software engineering, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI) on projects that matter to the Department of Defense (DoD), government agencies, and private industry?

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Writer and Content Strategist to join our Technical Communications team at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to edit technical reports, write and edit content for the SEI website, and create and edit presentations. You will collaborate with SEI researchers, engineers, and other subject-matter experts to help them create professional materials that communicate the innovations and impact of their work.

What you’ll do

Edit formal technical reports. Tailor your work for each project—from substantive editing, to copyediting, to proofreading—depending on project requirements, schedule, and budget.

Write and edit brief articles and marketing materials.

Write and edit web content, video scripts, and content for other electronic media.

Act as a consultant or co-writer with subject-matter experts and collaborate with technical teams to capture information about their research and develop and improve their content.

Suggest ways to present content in a document and repurpose it to other media.

Work with SEI Communication Design, Web Services, Public Relations, and Outreach teams on publications, presentations, web pages, information graphics, and event materials.

Plan, manage, schedule, and track your project tasks.

Who you are

You have at least five years of experience in technical writing and editing or a related discipline.

You have excellent document planning, writing, substantive editing, and copyediting skills.

You are committed to customer service for subject-matter experts, but you are also a strong advocate for their readers.

You have a keen eye for detail and a strong focus on quality and adherence to a style guide.

You have strong organizational, time management, and project management skills and can prioritize multiple responsibilities.

You have the social skills to interview subject-matter experts or work closely with them to plan and develop written technical materials.

You have significant experience with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word and PowerPoint.

You can work with minimal or no supervision, but you also participate in team decision making.

You are willing to travel within the SEI and CMU community—and occasionally to sponsor sites, conferences, and offsite meetings—to support the SEI’s mission (
