Who
We Are:
Elenion
Technologies is driving innovation in silicon photonics, an emerging technology
poised to significantly increase performance and reduce costs of optical
systems. We are headquartered in New York City, with offices in San Jose,
California and Munich, Germany.
After pursuing a
path of intensely focused research and development for two years in
stealth-mode, Elenion recently unveiled itself to the world and has assembled a
world-class team of multi-disciplinary experts. Members of our leadership team
have built and sold several companies, published papers in the top scientific
journals in the world, raised hundreds of millions of dollars of venture
capital, and have built products and deployed them to the market. The technical team includes world leaders in our space, and many members are PhD
scientists and engineers from the top schools in the world, such as MIT,
Caltech, UChicago, and Columbia.
Elenion is
developing next-generation photonic integrated circuit technologies and
solutions for a broad range of datacom and telecom applications. It is almost
certain that, as you read this web page, the data traveling from the server to
your computer or phone went through hardware that someone on our team designed,
built, or deployed.
This team builds
the hardware at the heart of the internet. We think that’s cool. Hopefully, you
do too.
The
Position:
We are searching
for a part-time technical writer /
digital librarian to help drive our success in developing world-class
optical technologies. This position is based at our headquarters in midtown
Manhattan, on Madison Avenue, where the incumbent will collaborate with a large
team of highly technical personnel – physicists, engineers, programmers, etc.
This is a part-time role for now (12-15 hours/week), potentially ramping up
into full-time in the future.
We require someone who can identify what needs to be done with limited
direct supervision, then prioritize and execute. As the organization grows
there will be multiple opportunities for professional growth and career
development, in any of several different directions.
The ideal candidate will be extremely familiar
and comfortable with computers, including advanced skills in Word. We do not
necessarily expect the successful candidate to be familiar with our specific
databases and collaboration tools (Arena, Confluence, Jira, etc.), but we do
need someone who is very quick to learn new software packages and online
databases. We do not require an IT person or computer admin in this role
– IT support and setup of the databases is handled elsewhere. The incumbent must
be able to learn new tools quickly. We’re looking for someone who is first and
foremost smart, easy to work with, and an excellent communicator both in
writing and verbally.
Key
Responsibilities:
·
Lead collaborative projects
such as development of white papers, and new engineering documentation, working
closely with cross-disciplinary teams of scientists and engineers.
·
Manage the complete documentation
lifecycle. This includes responding to new document requests from different
departments, creating work-flows for approval, routing the documents for
approval and integrating inputs. Once approved, you’ll archive and internally advertise
document accessibility to the teams.
·
Work within a digital document
archive system to ensure that company documents are up-to-date and appropriately
cross-referenced.
·
Proof public corporate text for
grammar, including websites, product brochures, white papers, etc.
·
Collaborate with technical
colleagues to ensure that documents are clearly and correctly written.
·
Manage and organize version
control of documents.
·
Ensure that the proper
documents appear in supplier and customer portals (access control).
Key Qualifications:
·
Experience as a professional
editor or writer.
·
Advanced Microsoft Word skills;
particularly regarding document collaboration and review features.
·
Highly analytical, organized
and detail-oriented.
·
Computer savvy, with the
ability to learn new software tools quickly.
·
Technical writing experience is
a significant asset.
