A technical writer will periodically need to interview Subject Matter Experts (SME) to gather information about a technical document.
More often that not, and especially within the context of software development, most SMEs are engineers and software developers. But they can also be mechanical, electrical and other types of engineers, hardware installers, network engineers, testers, site foremen, call center engineers, field technicians, sales or marketing people, local dealers, etc.
One cardinal rule of interviewing an SME is to do your homework well, in advance.
