Everforth ECS is seeking a Technical Writer - Engineering to work in the National Capital Region covering the Pentagon, Falls Church, and Fairfax. Please Note: This position is contingent upon contract award.

The War Data Platform (WDP) is a key initiative within the U.S. Department of War's (DoW) AI-First strategy introduced in early 2026. The WDP separates business and financial data from operational warfighting data, aiming to accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) on the battlefield. The WDP extends to Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret environments, and supports collaboration between Combatant Commands, Joint Staff directorates, Senior Executive Service leaders, and operational analysts.

The Technical Writer – Engineering serves as the primary documentation specialist for WDP Core Integration's data engineering, data operations, and data governance functions across all classification tiers. This role translates complex technical concepts and engineering workflows into structured, accessible documentation that sustains mission-critical operations and supports enterprise knowledge management across Unclassified, Secret, and Top Secret environments.

Develops structured engineering documentation supporting War Data Platform (WDP) Core Integration data engineering, data operations, data tooling, and data governance functions across Unclassified and NIPR, Secret and SIPR, and Top Secret and JWICS enclaves.
Creates and maintains technical manuals, standard operating procedures, workflow descriptions, interface specifications, and enclave-specific operational guides using Confluence, SharePoint Online, GitLab repositories, and controlled document libraries.
Elicits, organizes, and documents engineering details from SMEs describing automated ingestion pipelines, transformation workflows, medallion-layer storage patterns, connection methods, lineage metadata, drift detection processes, and data quality monitoring techniques.
Documents operational procedures for proactive alerting, encryption methods, access control workflows, data backup activities, and cross-domain data movement protocols supporting mission-critical consumers across Combatant Commands and Joint Staff elements.
Produces customer-facing materials that support Tier-2 and Tier-3 data operations, including troubleshooting runbooks, incident response process maps, escalation criteria, training artifacts, and best-practice guidance.
Collaborates with data tool engineers to generate technical specifications, release notes, metadata definitions, and system behavior descriptions for extract-transform-load platforms, orchestration tools, data catalog systems, governance services, and identity and access management components.
Builds structured knowledge repositories leveraging taxonomy-driven indexing to strengthen discoverability and support enterprise learning.
Develops dashboards reporting content freshness, utilization trends, and documentation gap indicators to advance continuous improvement and increase mission readiness across all enclaves.
Performs other duties as assigned.

Requirements:

Current Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).
A minimum of 3 years of experience producing technical documentation in a federal IT, defense, or enterprise data environment.
Demonstrated proficiency with documentation platforms such as Confluence, SharePoint Online, and GitLab, and experience developing structured content including standard operating procedures, runbooks, interface specifications, and training materials.
Strong problem-solving and decision-making capabilities, with a proven ability to weigh the relative costs and benefits of potential actions and identify the most appropriate solution.
Highly developed interpersonal and oral/written communication skills, with the ability to effectively and professionally interact with a diverse set of stakeholders (from peers to end-users to executive management).
