What is a technical communicator? 

The following comes from Marc Gravez, president of the Society for Technical Communication's Philly metro chapter:

What is a technical communicator? Technical communicators develop and design instructional and informational tools needed to assure safe, appropriate, and effective use of science and technology, intellectual property, and manufactured products and services. Technical communicators combine multimedia knowledge and strong communication skills with technical expertise to educate across the entire spectrum of users’ abilities, technical experience, and visual and auditory capabilities.
