I realise this probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but is there another way to differentiate these technical terms from the rest of the text?
I realise the use of quotation marks for their original purpose is unlikely in technical documentation, but if you were to use italics, bold, or a different font this wouldn't be an issue.
