• Follow all company and customer safety procedures.

• Support customers throughout New Jersey, with occasional travel to other regions as business needs require.

Travel

• Daily travel throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

• Routine overnight travel is approximately 10%, with occasional additional travel outside the region for training, customer support, or special projects.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in candidates who enjoy working with sophisticated equipment and have a passion for troubleshooting complex technical systems.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Engineering Technology, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.

• Military technical experience or trade school training may be considered in place of a degree.

• Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills.

• Ability to read electrical schematics and mechanical drawings.

• Comfortable working with Windows-based computers and technical software.

• Excellent organization, communication, and customer service skills.

• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Experience That Will Set You Apart

• Previous field service experience.

• Preventive or corrective maintenance on electro-mechanical or servo-hydraulic equipment.

• Experience with materials testing systems.

• Experience delivering technical training to customers in both hands-on and classroom settings.

• Industrial automation or controls experience.

Why Instron?

At Instron, you'll work for a global technology leader while enjoying the flexibility and independence of a home-based field position. We invest heavily in technical training and professional development, giving our engineers the tools they need to succeed throughout their careers.

You'll have the opportunity to support leading companies across industries including aerospace, medical devices, automotive, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, and higher education, helping them ensure the safety and quality of the products used around the world.
