About the Company

ABOUT ALTA ARES Alta Ares is an air defense Neoprime. We build AI-guided interceptors to counter drones and cruise missiles, along with the software platform that powers them. Our customers are NATO-aligned militaries and defense institutions, and our systems are regularly deployed during live exercises and operational demonstrations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Founded in 2024, we have grown to 90 people, raised over 60M, and increased revenue 40 this year. We are now entering a new phase of international expansion, industrial scaling, fundraising, and product development. ROLE & MISSION As Technical Writer, you will own the documentation of Alta Ares' product suite - producing the manuals, user guides, interface specifications, and operational references that enable military operators, system integrators, and institutional clients to deploy and use Alta Ares' platforms with confidence. In defence, documentation is not a nice-to-have. A military operator in a contested environment cannot call the helpdesk. A procurement officer reviewing an acceptance package expects documentation that is precise, complete, and unambiguous. Your work is the last line of clarity between a complex, cutting-edge system and the person who has to operate it under pressure.

Responsibilities

  • ● translating deeply technical content into structured, accessible, operationally relevant documentation. This is a high-craft, high-ownership role in a company where the quality of your writing directly affects operational outcomes.
  • ● PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION - USER GUIDES & OPERATOR MANUALS
  • ● Own the full suite of end-user documentation for Alta Ares' product portfolio: operator manuals, quick-start guides, field reference cards, and system overviews
  • ● Write clear, structured, and operationally grounded documentation for military end-users - adapting tone, level of detail, and format to the audience (drone operator, system administrator, field commander)
  • ● Develop and maintain documentation for each product line: ISR module, C-UAS platform, MLOps stack, GCS interface, and ground equipment
  • ● Produce multilingual documentation in English and French - ensuring accuracy and consistency across both versions
  • ● Maintain a versioned documentation library aligned with each product release and firmware update
  • ● INTERFACE & SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
  • ● Document software interfaces, system architectures, and hardware integration specifications in collaboration with Engineering
  • ● Produce interface control documents (ICDs), system description documents (SDDs), and integration guides for system integrators and institutional clients
  • ● Translate engineering schematics, API references, and architecture diagrams into human-readable specifications accessible to non-specialist audiences
  • ● Maintain up-to-date configuration guides, parameter references, and software release notes for each product version
  • ● Support the Engineering team in documenting internal technical standards and development guidelines
  • ● OPERATIONAL & FIELD DOCUMENTATION
  • ● Develop field-ready documentation adapted to operational environments: laminated quick-reference cards, checklists, and compact field guides
  • ● Produce pre-flight checklists, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting guides for UAV platforms and C-UAS systems
  • ● Create training materials and operational scenario guides for use during client onboarding, field demonstrations, and exercises
  • ● Ensure all field documentation meets the usability requirements of military audiences: clear hierarchy, unambiguous language, and actionable step-by-step instructions
  • ● DOCUMENTATION LIFECYCLE & QUALITY MANAGEMENT
  • ● Own the documentation lifecycle end-to-end: planning, drafting, review, validation, versioning, and publication
