Technical Writer - Certification and Permitting

About Qnetic
Qnetic was founded with the mission to enable the transition to clean, sustainable energy. To achieve it, we are developing a high-performance energy storage system for the electric grid, based on new flywheel technology. It delivers ‘energy shifting’ at a lower cost than anything we know about. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, Qnetic has 3x the lifetime, 2x the discharge duration, 0.5x the cost and 0x the degradation.

About The Role
Develop documentation required for certifications, permitting, and operation of new Flywheel Energy Storage Systems. We coordinate with Engineering, Marketing, and Safety teams to create and oversee our documentation strategy for attaining certifications and permits to build. This role is critical to ensure regulatory compliance, AHJ approval, and commercial readiness.

What You'll Do
Understand our systems well enough to communicate with external parties, communicate with certifying agencies, oversee document flow for certification process, set standards for documentation for company-wide use, and develop documentation required for permitting, interconnection, and AHJ approval.
