What you'll do:

• Partner closely with mechanical, electrical, software, systems, quality, and fleet support engineers to develop and maintain accurate, actionable service bulletins to communicate required inspections, corrective actions, modifications, operational limitations, maintenance actions, parts replacements, or configuration changes affecting aircraft safety, airworthiness, reliability, or maintainability.

• Develop step-by-step maintenance and inspection procedures that are technically accurate, safe, complete, and usable in operational environments.

• Observe and document maintenance, assembly, inspection, troubleshooting, ground-test, and flight-test activities to ensure procedures reflect actual work execution.

• Develop or coordinate supporting technical visuals, including annotated photographs, exploded views, system diagrams, task flows, wiring or schematic excerpts, illustrations, and other graphics required for safe operation and maintenance.

• Assess the documentation impact of engineering changes, software releases, flight-test findings, and operational feedback; coordinate reviews and issue timely configuration-controlled updates.

• Determine and clearly document bulletin applicability, prerequisites, compliance requirements, labor estimates, required tools, consumables, replacement parts, and return-to-service requirements.

• Write and maintain warnings, cautions, notes, limitations, and hazard statements that communicate risks associated with maintenance, aircraft configuration changes, energized systems, rotating components, fuel, batteries, and other applicable hazards.

• Manage multiple service bulletin efforts across issue identification, engineering investigation, drafting, technical review, validation, release, revision, and field communication in a fast-paced environment.

• Facilitate cross-functional reviews with engineering, quality, manufacturing, supply chain, flight operations, maintenance, training, and customer-support stakeholders.

• Research and interpret engineering artifacts, including drawings, bills of material, engineering change orders, software release notes, wiring diagrams, maintenance procedures, inspection criteria, test reports, and configuration records.

• Work with engineering, quality, flight test, manufacturing, and operations teams to identify missing, incomplete, conflicting, unsafe, or ambiguous technical content and drive resolution before release.

• Maintain service bulletin templates, style guides, numbering conventions, revision histories, distribution records, and document-control processes.

• Support rapid publication and revision of service bulletins in response to flight-test findings, field issues, reliability trends, supplier notifications, production escapes, and operational feedback.

• Review field feedback and maintenance data to identify opportunities to improve bulletin clarity, reduce maintenance burden, and prevent recurring discrepancies.

• Ensure published bulletins align with applicable technical publications, maintenance manuals, illustrated parts catalogs, operator manuals, and approved engineering configurations.

• Maintain organized source material, technical references, revision histories, review comments, and approval records in accordance with company processes.

• Maintain traceability between published technical content and the applicable hardware configuration, software version, engineering change, product effectivity, and release approval.

• Fulfill additional responsibilities as required in support of V-BAT program objectives.
