Expectations

I am seeking a remote position writing documentation for hardware, software, or firmware, working for a stable company focused on the user experience, diversity, and collaboration. I am open to a hybrid position, as I understand that writing hardware documentation may require in-office time. The ideal company will be team-based, customer-oriented, and open to new ideas.
