Short answer: no. Nevertheless, it's a plus. It is good to have a deep knowledge of the field you write about, so your documents have more weight and insight. I'd choose, given the same writing skill level, a person with technical background over one with no technical background, if what I'm looking for is technical documents. Why not have the edge, if you can? Make sure you're a great writer, or get work with whatever subject you're going to write about, but do land the gigs.
