Terence Pyle has more than 20 years’ experience as a Technical Writer and Editor. He works for manufacturers and system integrators of medical devices and defense electronic products.
Service Documentation
I can develop service documentation for medical devices to instruct maintainers how to inspect, test and solve problems with equipment and systems. This includes manual and procedures provided by manufacturers for the installation and maintenance of electronic equipment.
- Installation guides
- Operation and maintenance manuals
- Service manuals
Product Development Documentation
I write and edit design documents for both hardware and software, documents used or prepared during the different phases of the product development life cycle. I provide documentation guidelines, document templates and checklists for assuring documents are complete, accurate and meet an appropriate level of quality.
- Hardware and software engineering specifications
- Design documentation
Training Materials
I create structured lessons that improve the retention of skills and knowledge on the part of the learner. I have also developed training materials that build the expertise of the learners in the safe and proper operation and maintenance of the equipment. My task-based instruction can improve the job performance of the learner.
- Instructor and student study guides
- Web-based modules for online instruction
