Technical Writer - Software as Medical Device

Permanent employee, Full-time · München, Hybrid

Your mission

We want you to join our early-stage university spin-off that has its ISO 13485 certification. We are looking for an exceptional Technical Writer with a passion for precision, clarity, and scientific rigor. In this role, you will be the central interface between Software Development and Quality & Regulatory Affairs ensuring that our technical documentation meets the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.

You will use your deep understanding of complex technical systems and your outstanding writing skills to:

Serve as the technical bridge between Software Development and Quality & Regulatory Affairs.
Prepare, structure, and maintain comprehensive technical documentation in accordance with EU MDR, FDA, and internal quality system requirements.
Contribute to the implementation of robust risk management processes (ISO 14971) for our SaMD, ensuring sound risk governance and mitigation.
Enhance and maintain documentation aligned with the Product Development Lifecycle (IEC 62304) in close collaboration with the Software Development Team.
Support the definition, refinement, and traceability of Software Requirements within the development lifecycle.
Research, review, and compile internal and external data to support the conformity assessment of our SaMD.
Draft clear, technically accurate statements for submissions to international regulatory authorities.
Conduct structured gap analyses of relevant laws, regulations, and standards for our SaMD.
Champion documentation excellence across the organization, ensuring consistency, clarity, and completeness.

Your profile

We are seeking someone with exceptional writing skills and the technical depth to translate complex concepts into precise, accessible documentation. You are a person who obsesses over clarity, correctness, structure, and consistency — and takes pride in producing world-class documentation.

A degree in medical technology, biomedical or mechanical engineering, computer science, or equivalent technical qualifications.
Proven experience in technical writing for complex technical or scientific domains — ideally within MedTech, software, or regulated industries.
Experience in regulatory affairs, including creating structured technical documentation for MDR/FDA submissions, is a strong plus.
Familiarity with software development processes and documentation in a MedTech or high-compliance environment.
Solid understanding of ISO 13485, EU MDR, FDA SaMD guidance, and IEC 62304.
Strong analytical thinking, high attention to detail, and the ability to structure complex information logically.
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in English — with an emphasis on clarity, correctness, and conciseness. German language skills are a plus.
A proactive, independent, and solution-oriented working style.
A hands-on attitude and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment with high quality standards.

Why us?

Contribute to products that will have a measurable impact on the lives of patients.
You will be working with modern tooling in an agile and dynamic environment.
We are an interdisciplinary team of highly motivated, skilled and ambitious people. Individual contributions count…a lot!
