ARPA documentation (govt. docs)
We seek a proven team player with excellent communication skills.
Technical writing, course development, document design, mass communication,
video design and production, and software documentation skills are desired.
A few notes (in no particular order of importance):
We currently work with FrameMaker 3.1.1 and FrameMaker 4.0.3 on Sun workstations
(UNIX). We also use CorelDRAW, and have recently purchased other toys (tools)
both hardware and software.
MRS manufactures a machine that is used to create flat panel displays, such
as those used on laptop computers. (AMLCDs.)
Credentials to Joanne. Questions to Lonnie.
We really want to get someone on board this month (or early July at the latest).
Yes, we do work with headhunters, and we will notify the headhunters by
phone or mail either today or tomorrow. I'll be EXTREMELY busy on
Friday, and probably will not return mail until Monday or Tuesday...so please
don't feel ignored if I don't zap mail right back to you.
This is a new position, expanding the department to 4 full-timers. We'll also
be adding an intern next week (position is all but filled at this point),
and we'll be calling on contract help from time to time in the upcoming months.
Again, I will distribute this info to headhunters/etc., as soon as possible.
We're located in Chelmsford, which is one exit South of Lowell on Route 3.
(Ten minutes North of Burlington, 40 minutes to Boston).
about 100 employees, traded on NASDAQ, as mrstech, public for one year,
growing but cautious....
