Technical Writers

Warthman Associates is a group of technical writers specializing in the hardware and software of microprocessors, graphics processors, embedded processors, networking, semiconductor-design tools, semiconductor-fabrication equipment, and biomedical products. All of our writers have BS or MS degrees and many years of industry experience in electrical engineering, computer science, and/or mechanical engineering.

We write and edit engineering specifications, reference manuals, data sheets, user guides, and technology overviews. We have written documents for most major companies in the semiconductor industry.

Track Record
Our 30-year track record of documenting complex hardware and software products is a valuable resource of experience.

Excellence
We write clear, complete, accurate, readable manuals that your customers and internal staff can understand quickly.

Content Creation
We create content from interviews and personal knowledge. We are hardware and software engineers who understand what we write about.

Managed Projects
We take full responsibility for delivering complete projects, from start to finish—on time and on budget.

Writing Services

The technical writers at Warthman Associates create original (start-from-nothing) or semi-original (start-from-something) technical documents, including user guides, tutorials, reference manuals, data sheets and data books, application notes, training seminars, technical briefs and brochures, engineering-design specifications, user-interface design specifications, and programming-grammar specifications.

Each technical writer in our group has a degree and industry experience in electrical engineering (EE), computer science (CS), physics, mathematics, or a related engineering field. Each technical writer has a solid technical background in one or more of the following technologies:

  • Integrated Circuits: microprocessors (CPUs), parallel and multicore/manycore processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), graphics processors (GPUs), systems-on-chip (SoCs), embedded and reconfigurable processors, controllers, programmable logic devices (including reconfigurable logic), gate arrays, mixed-signal devices (analog and digital), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and application-specific standard products (ASSPs).

  • Networking: routers, switches, cell phones, and other devices for Internet (TCP/IP, UDP), Ethernet, wireless (802.11 WiFi and WiMax, IR, RF, Bluetooth), SONET/SDH, ultrawide band (UWB), and optical communication technologies.

  • Electronic-Design Automation (EDA): system partitioning; executable specifications using transaction-level modeling (TLM) in SystemC; logic design and simulation in a hardware description language such as Verilog, SystemVerlog, or VHDL; design capture; register-transfer-level (RTL) design; physical design, synthesis, layout, and floor planning; verification; and model libraries.

  • System Software: operating systems, compilers, debuggers, initialization and test procedures, network and peripheral interfaces, application binary interfaces (ABIs), hardware abstraction layers (HALs).

  • Application Software and Middleware: programming languages (C, C++, Java, and other object-oriented languages), databases (SQL and others), financial and accounting systems, large-system modeling, enterprise resource planning (ERP), application programming interfaces (APIs).

  • Security and Data-Collection Systems: supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA), distributed control systems (DCS), building and communication security, security audits, building security and automation.

  • Electric Power Generation and Transmission: load balancing, production cost, capacity planning and management, integrated system operator (ISO) protocols, regional transmission operator (RTO) protocols.

  • Semiconductor Processing: vacuum, deposition, transport, power, test, and clean-room equipment.

  • Biomedical and Clinical Medical Systems: hardware and software systems used in molecular-biology research and clinical analysis.
