Technical Content Writer

Job Title

Technical Content Writer

Role Summary

Write technical content that explains Efficient Computer's processor architecture, compiler, and applications to engineers, product managers, and technical decision-makers. Collaborate with product, applications, and engineering teams to convert benchmarks, reference designs, and measurement results into reproducible, publishable material.

Balance hands-on engineering (bringing up evaluation hardware, compiling and measuring code) with producing blog posts, application notes, white papers, demos, and sales/field materials.

Experience Level

Mid-level (3+ years experience in semiconductors, embedded systems, or processor and compiler tools).

Responsibilities

Produce clear, reproducible technical content and hands-on examples that demonstrate product capabilities.

• Write technical blog posts, application notes, white papers, benchmark reports, and developer newsletters.
• Turn customer work, benchmarks, and reference designs into step-by-step examples and reproducible measurements.
• Bring up evaluation hardware, build applications with the effcc compiler, and instrument systems to measure energy and performance.
• Create figures, plots, demos, sample projects, and editable slides for sales and conference talks.
• Script product walkthroughs, demo videos, and short technical explainers with clear on-screen instructions.
• Review content with engineers for technical accuracy and update published content as products evolve.
• Run webinars, support workshops, and help field teams use published materials.
• Track content performance (traffic, search, engagement) and use metrics to plan future content.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, experience, and work samples.

• At least three years' experience in semiconductors, embedded systems, or processor and compiler tools (engineering, marketing, or both).
• Examples of writing for a technical audience such as blog posts, application notes, white papers, documentation, or conference papers.
• Fluency in C or C++; ability to navigate, build, and modify unfamiliar codebases independently.
• Experience with development hardware: evaluation board bring-up, sensor connections, reading a serial console, and debugging toolchains or unexpected measurements.
• Working knowledge of Python or a similar language for data analysis, plotting results, and building small internal tools.
• Ability to interpret engineering work, analyze measurement data, and present reproducible figures and explanations.
• Strong written communication and self-editing skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Low-power or battery-powered system design, energy measurement, or power profiling tools.
• Experience with compilers, instruction set architectures, or dataflow/spatial architectures.
• Work with drones and autonomy, industrial monitoring, space and defense, or wearable devices.
• Embedded machine learning, digital signal processing, or real-time control experience.
• HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for interactive demos and technical web content.
• Experience creating diagrams and data visualizations; speaking at conferences or leading workshops.

Education Requirements

Degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, or equivalent professional experience.
