Collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, and customer support to gather information, verify accuracy, and incorporate feedback.
Create and maintain templates, style guides, and documentation workflows to ensure consistency across the product set.
Manage documentation releases alongside product releases, keeping content synchronised with firmware and software updates.
