At Levata, we believe in making your journey with us seamless, impactful, and filled with opportunities to elevate your potential. As we think big, we enable what’s next by leveraging our knowledge of what’s possible today. Join a team where complexity doesn’t mean confusion, but rather a deep dive into understanding, surfacing with clear options and recommendations.

The Configuration Documentation Engineer is a hands-on technical documentation and escalation role based in the Louisville office. This position is part of the Solutions Engineering team and works closely with Configuration Operations to help technicians successfully execute customer-specific configuration work.

This role serves as an onsite escalation resource when configuration technicians encounter technical issues, unclear documentation, missing steps, outdated instructions, or process gaps that prevent them from completing work accurately and efficiently. The goal is not only to resolve the immediate issue, but also to improve the documentation and process so the same issue is easier to avoid in the future.

The bulk of this role will focus on creating, maintaining, validating, and improving configuration documentation for mobile devices, scanners, printers, RFID equipment, card printers, network equipment, accessories, software, and other supported hardware. This includes producing clear, step-by-step work instructions that junior configuration technicians can follow with confidence and consistency.

This is an internal-facing role. It is not a customer-facing position and does not include direct people management responsibilities.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who can combine hands-on technical troubleshooting with strong technical writing and process documentation skills. The ideal candidate is comfortable working directly with configuration technicians on the floor, understanding where instructions break down, and turning technical requirements into clear, accurate, repeatable work instructions.

This person should be approachable, patient, detail-oriented, and practical. They should be able to explain technical steps in a way that is easy for less experienced technicians to understand, while also having enough technical depth to troubleshoot issues, validate configuration requirements, and collaborate with Solutions Engineering and other internal teams.

This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, supporting operational teams, and building better systems for how technical work gets executed.

What You’ll Do

Serve as the onsite escalation resource for configuration technicians in the Louisville office
Help technicians resolve technical issues that prevent them from successfully following posted configuration documentation
Clarify work instructions when documentation is incomplete, confusing, outdated, or difficult to execute
Troubleshoot configuration issues related to mobile devices, scanners, printers, RFID equipment, card printers, network equipment, accessories, software, connectivity, labeling, kitting, staging, testing, and validation
Create, revise, and maintain customer-specific configuration documentation
Develop clear, step-by-step work instructions that can be followed by junior configuration technicians

Provide hands-on walkthroughs and informal training to help configuration technicians understand new or updated work instructions
Identify recurring technician questions, documentation gaps, process inconsistencies, and areas where instructions are difficult to follow
Help establish and maintain a clear source of truth for configuration documentation so technicians can reliably locate the correct and current instructions
Ensure configuration documentation clearly identifies required parts, accessories, software versions, firmware, OS versions, labels, media, tools, and validation steps
Partner with Solutions Engineering, Configuration Operations, Project Management, Support, Repair, and other internal teams to confirm technical requirements and documentation accuracy
Coordinate documentation updates across teams when configuration steps depend on work performed by multiple departments
Support a local escalation process for configuration issues, ensuring technician questions and documentation problems are captured, tracked, resolved, and escalated when needed
Validate new or updated configuration instructions before they are released for technician use
Escalate complex technical issues to the appropriate internal resource when they cannot be resolved locally
Maintain documentation through the appropriate review and approval path, which may vary by customer, configuration type, equipment type, or technical owner
