Technical Writers

Warthman Associates is a small group of technical writers—engineers and programmers by education and industry experience. We specialize in writing for electrical-engineering and programming audiences. We write and produce industry-standard specifications, reference manuals, user guides, and data sheets about microprocessors, SoCs, networking, semiconductor-manufacturing, and system- and application-software products. Everyone in our group, from the top down, is a technical writer.

Track Record
We have a 30-year track record. We've written or edited hundreds of reference manuals, specifications, user guides, and data sheets.

Excellence
We write complete, accurate, readable product manuals that your customers can access quickly and understand easily.

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

A Managed Process
We take personal responsibility for our projects, from start to finish. We deliver our work 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 (hardware and programming), digital signal processors (DSPs), graphics processing units (GPUs), stream processors, parallel processors, SIMD processors, multicore and manycore processors, embedded processors, systems-on-chip (SoCs), multi-core chips, network-on-chip (NoC), microcontrollers, field programmable gate arrays, reconfigurable logic, mixed-signal devices, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and application-specific standard products (ASSPs).

  • Networking: routers, switches, LAN, WAN, and other communication and telecommunication systems using Internet (TCP/IP and other) protocols, Ethernet, 10Ge, 40Ge, 3G, 802.11, WiFi, ultrawide band (UWB), wireless, IR, RF, Bluetooth, and optical 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 (HDL) such as Verilog, SystemVerlog, or VHDL; design capture; register-transfer-level (RTL) design; physical design, synthesis, layout, and floor planning; verification; and model libraries.

  • Semiconductor Processing: vacuum, power, deposition, transport, testing.

  • Computer Systems: hardware, operating systems, parallel processing, communication and networking devices, peripherals, system control.

  • Programming: C, C++, Java, Fortran, and Pascal languages. Compilers, debuggers, testers, and other software created and used by programmers. Parallel, stream, and SIMD programming.

  • 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.

  • Software Applications: object-oriented, database, financial and large-system modeling, enterprise resource planning (ERP).

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

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