Technical Writer -- Electronics Engineering

Purpose

To provide engineer-to-engineer level marketing writing to technical clients that sell to electronics engineers. The writing should be technically accurate, persuasive, and communicate the client’s marketing messages in a way that is better than the client can produce on their own. Note: only candidates with specific marketing writing experience will be considered -- blogs, PR articles, videos, white papers. Samples will be required.

Requirements:

· Create and execute marketing copy – white papers, blog posts, articles for trade magazines, as well as web pages, releases, emails, etc. – at an engineer-to-engineer or technical competency level requiring no more than two rounds of client revisions.

· Be proactive independently managing schedules and projects so you never miss a deadline, a client never asks for a status update on a project, and a client never reminds us of something that needs to be done

· Manage time to complete first drafts and edits within assigned budgets

· Support client communication with an ability to build rapport with clients

· Provide responsiveness beyond what clients expect and what they receive from any other vendor

· Manage projects with close attention to detail

· Be proactive in notifying marketing managers of potential problems with projects
