Technical Writer – Shaping the Future of Lab Automation Documentation

Do you want to turn complex robotics, software, and API systems into crystal-clear product documentation that helps scientists move faster? Is it exciting for you to have the opportunity to define how next-generation lab automation is understood, adopted, and loved?

We’re looking for a Technical Writer to design, develop, and deliver the full customer-facing documentation suite for Automata’s new platform — spanning hardware, software, and API / SDK components.

What You’ll Do

  • Build a complete documentation ecosystem — from setup guides and configuration docs to API references and integration examples.
  • Translate engineering specs into clear, usable content that empowers developers, system admins, and lab scientists.
  • Create structured, searchable, single-source documentation that reduces onboarding time and becomes the go-to resource for users.
  • Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and designers to align every word with Automata’s tone, accuracy, and brand.

You’re the kind of person who

  • Loves turning complex technical systems into simple, elegant documentation.
  • Thinks in information architecture and structured content, not just paragraphs.
  • Balances precision and clarity while maintaining technical depth.
  • Thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
  • Bonus if you’ve

  • Worked with hardware–software platforms, APIs, or SDKs.
  • Built or maintained developer portals or technical knowledge bases.
  • Worked in automation, robotics, or life sciences.
  • This is your chance to build the knowledge backbone of a pioneering automation platform — shaping how customers experience and trust our technology. Ready to make technical clarity your legacy? Let’s talk.

    We are an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. Discrimination of any kind based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, or veteran status is strictly prohibited.
