Technical Writer
Having an understanding of a particular branch within the Life Science industry, such as Biotech, Pharma, Quality, or Manufacturing, coupled with an eye for detail, a technical writer plays an important role in the life science industry by translating complex scientific information into clear, concise documentation for future improvement and guidance. They create user manuals, standard operating procedures, and regulatory documents for laboratory equipment, software, and processes.
Within an R&D capacity, these writers collaborate with scientists, engineers, and regulatory experts to ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards. Their work is essential for effective communication between researchers, manufacturers, and end-users, facilitating the proper use of biotech products and technologies.
