The successful candidate will work directly with engineers, logisticians, and subject matter experts to develop technical manuals and provisioning documentation that accurately reflect system design, configuration, and maintenance requirements.  The ideal candidate possesses a strong understanding of Marine Corps maintenance concepts and can transform complex engineering information into clear, concise documentation for operators and maintainers. 

Responsibilities:

• Read, interpret, and analyze engineering drawings, technical data packages, and engineering source documentation.


• Integrate engineering drawings, network design documentation, specifications, and Bills of Material (BOMs) into technical manuals and maintenance documentation.


• Translate complex engineering and system design concepts into clear, accurate, and easy-to-understand technical instructions.


• Evaluate system architecture, functionality, and concept of employment to determine maintenance requirements and develop appropriate maintenance procedures.


• Develop and maintain Bills of Material (BOMs) for principal end items in accordance with GEA-006 standards and U.S. Marine Corps provisioning requirements.


• Support the development, review, and update of technical manuals, maintenance procedures, provisioning documentation, and associated logistics products.


• Coordinate with engineering, logistics, and configuration management personnel to ensure documentation accurately reflects approved system configurations and engineering changes.


• Review technical documentation for accuracy, completeness, technical adequacy, and compliance with applicable government and program requirements.
