This position offers an excellent opportunity to gain in-depth experience in federal contracting while supporting high‑visibility aviation programs.

    In this position, you will :

  • Manage a team of technical writers and editors, ensuring high‑quality deliverables across multiple FAA projects.

  • Oversee the development and maintenance of technical manuals, user guides, training materials, proposals, and compliance documentation.
  • Collaborate with engineers, cybersecurity experts, and program managers to translate technical concepts into clear, concise documentation.
  • Lead reviews and audits of documentation for accuracy, consistency, and compliance with FAA regulations and federal standards.
  • Ensure all materials comply with Section 508 accessibility requirements and FAA branding guidelines.
  • Manage documentation schedules, track progress, and allocate resources to meet project deadlines.
  • Provide coaching, mentoring, and performance feedback to writing staff, fostering a culture of excellence.
  • Present status reports and documentation readiness updates to FAA leadership and program managers.
  • Stay current on emerging tools, technologies, and documentation best practices, incorporating them into FAA processes.
  • Why This Role Matters
