Technical Writer & Documentation Engineer

At Six Robotics, you're not just joining a company; You're joining a mission to reshape the future of autonomous systems.

At Six Robotics, we’re transforming how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operate, making them smarter, more capable, and easier to manage. Our mission is to revolutionize unmanned systems through intelligent software solutions that are scalable, reliable, and built to deliver real-world impact.

As we grow, we’re building a platform that brings modern software and AI to a hardware-dominated industry, unlocking new levels of performance, flexibility, and accessibility in the air. Whether you're driven by innovation, national impact, or meaningful tech, this is your chance to help build something that matters from the ground up.

Our flagship software platform, Valkyrie, brings advanced autonomy and swarm technology to UAVs, enabling multiple drones to collaborate seamlessly, adapt to complex missions, and perform with greater independence. Partnering with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), we’re at the forefront of UAV innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions to both government and industry clients.

We’re a tight-knit team of 20+ people based in Oslo, Norway, combining expertise in defense, software, and AI. As a startup, we move fast, work closely, and value clarity, integrity, and teamwork in everything we do.

Your Role : Build the Future of Documentation

At Six Robotics, we believe world-class technology deserves world-class documentation. As we scale Valkyrie, our autonomous drone swarm platform, we’re making an early and intentional investment in how users understand, adopt, and succeed with our products. That’s why we’re hiring our first Technical Writer & Documentation Engineer to build a scalable, intuitive, and user-centered documentation system from the ground up.

This role goes far beyond writing manuals. You’ll design and implement a living documentation platform ,  combining structured guides with live data, interactive tools, embedded testing, and dynamic content, to make Valkyrie clear, accessible, and reliable for mission-critical users.

You’ll become a Valkyrie superuser, translating complex systems into clear, actionable resources. In the early stages, you’ll also work directly with customers to support onboarding and gather insights that improve both the product and the documentation. As we grow, you’ll help shape our Customer Success and Field Application Engineering functions, and define what great technical communication looks like at Six.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain a modern documentation platform for Valkyrie using tools like Sphinx, with custom integrations as needed.
• Develop and manage content enriched with live data, interactive tools and 3D visualizations.
• Enable multi-format publishing (web, PDF, localized versions) with automation and version control for consistency and scale.
• Collaborate with engineers to ensure documentation stays accurate, testable, and aligned with the product.
• Act as a superuser and early field expert, supporting onboarding and gathering insights from key users and partners.
• Help define documentation standards and contribute to the foundation of our future Customer Success and FAE functions.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who’s already operated technical documentation systems, and who thrives in ambiguity. You’re not just a writer, you think in systems, understand software deeply, and love building from zero. You know how to turn sprawling, technical complexity into clear, structured, and user-friendly documentation. You’ve likely worked in startups or other high-velocity environments and bring a hands-on, pragmatic mindset. As the first hire in this function, you’re excited to define standards, solve edge cases, and lay the groundwork for a scalable documentation practice.

To thrive in this role, you likely bring a combination of the following :

Bonus : You enjoy engaging directly with users, not in an ongoing support role, but through technical onboarding, training, and feedback loops that help shape both product and documentation quality.

Why You Should Join Six Robotics
