Technical Writer - Code Verification

Job Summary

Do you have a strong aptitude for writing, interest in learning new technologies, and a flair for explaining complex concepts and procedures to technical audiences? You might be:

• Experienced in programming, software development, or systems engineering, and considering a career change
• A recent graduate in engineering or computer science with a keen interest in technical communication
• An experienced writer with a strong technical background

Come join a dynamic, international team at MathWorks that writes online content to explain how to work with sophisticated code verification products that use static analysis for measuring and improving the quality of embedded software. Static code analysis is an automated verification technique that detects common run-time errors without actually executing the software.

As an integral member of our multidisciplinary team, you will:

• Interact directly with developers and end users to discover what customers need to know to harness our technologies for solving real-world engineering problems.

• Distill the intricacies of our products into examples, procedures, and conceptual topics that help customers become productive quickly.
• Help shape the design of our cutting-edge tools before they go out the door.

We are looking for self-starters with the background, skills, and enthusiasm for communicating creative ways to use MathWorks code verification products.

Responsibilities

• Write goal-oriented content that explains code verification and static analysis concepts and techniques for verifying C/C++ and Ada code.
• Develop examples and tutorials that show how to use MathWorks code verification products to improve software quality in embedded systems.
• Work with users to understand what they need to learn to be successful with our code verification software.
• Participate with the development team in product planning, design review, and testing.
• Help MathWorks develop next-generation online resources.

Qualifications Required / Preferred

Required

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Engineering, Applied Math, Computer Science, or related field.
• 1-3 years of experience in computer programming (especially in C and C++) or strong knowledge of these programming languages.
• Ability to learn and explain practical engineering and programming concepts and procedures.
• Ability to develop and document creative examples of functionality to help users meet real-world design goals.
• Aptitude for writing for technical audiences, such as scientists and engineers.
• Ability and willingness to support a remote development team.

Plusses:

• Experience using MATLAB, Simulink, Polyspace, or other code verification software.
• Knowledge of Ada and IDEs such as Eclipse and Visual Studio.
• Ability to speak and understand French.

To be considered for this opportunity, please include the following information during your online application (when asked for Additional Documents):

1. Writing samples that showcase your ability to write and highlight your technical knowledge (PDFs or URLs)
2. An overview of any experience using MATLAB or other MathWorks products
3. A cover letter explaining why you want to be a Content Specialist/Technical Writer at MathWorks
