Your Day as a Senior Technical Writer/Editor

As a Senior Technical Writer/Editor at MRI Technologies, your day might begin by diving into complex technical data, researching and organizing information that will form the backbone of critical flight and maintenance documentation.

From there, you'll collaborate with subject matter experts, engineers, and flight crews—validating procedures, asking questions, and ensuring every detail is accurate and mission-ready.

You'll spend time editing and formatting a variety of deliverables, from user manuals and system specifications to checklists and reports, always with an eye for clarity, consistency, and compliance with NASA and industry standards.

On some days, that means interviewing engineers about aircraft modifications; on others, it means managing updates and revisions to ensure technical manuals reflect the latest requirements.

Quality is central to your work—you'll help lead reviews that safeguard accuracy and uphold the highest standards.

And as you grow in the role, you'll take on greater responsibility, building the leadership skills to guide both projects and people in support of NASA's groundbreaking missions.
