Full Job Description
Position Summary

The Technical Documentation and Configuration Specialist produces and controls deliverable technical documentation and the configuration baseline across MAG Aerospace's U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) command and control portfolio: mobile command platforms, fixed and survivable C2 facilities, and integration and training sites. The mobile C2 platform is the current anchor, and the same discipline applies to facility and program documentation across the portfolio.

The discipline engineers originate their own design and harness drawings; this position converts that engineering output into controlled, reproducible, government-deliverable documentation. It owns technical data packages, interface control and description documents, operator and maintainer manuals, drawing release and revision control, and the as-built configuration baseline. Computer-aided design is a supporting skill used to package drawings and clean up interconnect sheets, not to originate engineering designs. Documentation is a contract deliverable in its own right, and the position is accountable for its accuracy and configuration control.
