Managed 100 volume doc set and performed manufacturing methods analysis projects. In my role as the technical writer and methods specialist, I reviewed existing work instructions and wrote new procedures when equipment was modified or added to production cells. I was responsible for researching, writing, and updating a 100 volume Quality Management System (QMS) documentation set. In my role as the methods specialist, I always tried to find ways to improve the manufacturing process and its documentation. For example, my analysis helped Receiving/Inspection reduce the number of mis-handled shipments by one-third. And working closely with the MES development team, we were able to help other departments prepare for its deployment in their areas. So, I was able to support my boss, the Manufacturing Engineering Manager, with both technical writing and problem analysis skills.

Photo-documented radical new Halos chip testing system In my role as a Senior Technical Writer, I was part of the Product Support Group (PSG) documentation organization. I wrote, edited, and photographed the new state-of- the art HALOS high-speed semiconductor device ("chip") tester from its arrival on the freight dock to system testing. HALOS is a very sophisticated complex device which provided many challenges which I met by photographing and documenting nearly every stage of system assembly. Other projects included documenting HALOS safety systems and component repair. Mentored less-experienced Technical Writers with their projects.

Wrote operational procedures for complex electro-mechanical plastic extrusion systems and their software interfaces Translated highly technical concepts from Medtronic's heart-related medical devices into usable documents for both clients and internal staff. Collaborated closely with engineers and staff to develop a consistent branding and writing style. Led the process of research, writing, design, format, editing, and proofreading for complex manuals.
• Decreased document cycle time by two-thirds, including time to initial draft and revision.
• Assisted with Medtronic adherence to Federal Drug Administration (FDA) requirements by developing clear and compliant procedures.
• Streamlined the in-house writing/editing process and ensured consistent branding by developing templates for procedures, methods, and instructions.
• Taught Engineers and other personnel how to use the documentation template which I created to create Work Instructions, Problem Reports, and other documents.

Partnered with Atrium's Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality Control Departments to write documents including standard operating procedures (SOPs), manufacturing procedures, and instructional manuals with a team of five (5) technical writers.
● • Prepared Atrium for a 2014 review of manufacturing operations and documentation, ensuring that all documentation met stringent FDA content and format requirements.
• Implemented an Agile document development process to manage revisions, deadlines, and content for reuse. Collaborated with the Supplier Quality Engineering team to produce quality control, risk analysis, and parts qualifications content.
