  • Familiarity with version-control systems (Git / Bitbucket) and configuration-management tools (OSA Tools, Jira, Confluence).
  • Excellent written and oral communication; ability to translate complex engineering concepts into clear, concise documentation for both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Proven track record of meticulous editorial review and adherence to style guides and compliance requirements.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Process Knowledge Experience supporting Configuration Management and / or Quality Assurance processes in a high-availability, mission-critical environment.
