Technical Writer I

Kelly Science and Clinical FSP is currently seeking a Technical Writer I for a long-term engagement in Irvine, CA with one of our Global Medical Device clients. This position is hybrid. This person will join our Kelly FSP (Functional Service Provider) division, a managed solution provider and business unit of Kelly Services, Inc. This role is full-time and is offering full benefit options. As a Kelly FSP employee you may be eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K and a variety of other benefits to choose from. You may also be eligible for paid time off, including holiday, vacation, and sick/personal time.

We are looking for a detail-oriented Technical Writer to bridge the gap between complex engineering concepts and clear, compliant documentation. You will work directly with our Scientific and Engineering teams to document research findings, create technical manuals, and manage the Engineering Change Order (ECO) process. In this role, you aren't just a writer—you are a guardian of accuracy and traceability in a high-stakes medical device environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Documentation: Write and edit high-level research reports, technical manuals, specifications, and regulatory scripts.

• Information Synthesis: Transform complex data into clear abstracts, summaries, charts, and graphs tailored for both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Lifecycle Management: Manage the workflow for Change Requests and ECOs, ensuring 100% traceability and compliance with industry standards.

• Standardization: Develop and maintain document templates, naming conventions, and numbering standards to ensure a unified "source of truth."

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Manufacturing, R&D, and Quality teams to ensure documentation aligns with production schedules and safety regulations.

• Continuous Improvement: Identify and retire obsolete procedures (WIs) and look for ways to streamline the document approval process.

What You Bring (Requirements)

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Technical Writing, Communications, Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years in technical writing; Medical Device industry experience is strongly preferred.

• Tech Stack: Proficiency in MS Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Experience with PLM or Document Control software is a major plus.

• Analytical Mindset: Strong root-cause analysis and problem-solving skills. You don't just report a problem; you help document the solution.

• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills with the ability to "interview" engineers to extract technical details.

• Precision: Attention to detail and a "quality-first" mindset.
