Job Description


Mission


Provide technical excellence and frontline customer support for precision testing systems used across manufacturing, R&D, and quality control industries. This role exists to ensure every installation, service, and calibration is executed to the highest standard — protecting the company’s reputation for quality and empowering clients to succeed.


You are the face of the organization in the field: part technician, part trainer, and part problem-solver. Your work keeps vital material testing systems operating safely, accurately, and efficiently.


Performance Objectives


  1. Install & Commission Equipment:

    Independently install, configure, and calibrate custom material testing machines at client facilities, ensuring systems meet operational specifications.


  2. Diagnose & Resolve Issues:

    Troubleshoot and repair complex electro-mechanical systems — including electrical (up to 480V), hydraulic, and pneumatic components — using schematics and mechanical drawings.


  3. Deliver First-Visit Resolution:

    Resolve customer issues efficiently and accurately on-site, minimizing repeat service calls and downtime.


  4. Customer Training & Support:

    Train operators and maintenance staff on system operation, calibration, and software, ensuring confident and safe equipment use.


  5. Autonomous Field Operations:

    Manage personal travel, scheduling, and reporting with minimal supervision while maintaining high levels of professionalism and responsiveness.


  6. Continuous Improvement:

    Capture and report system issues or recurring trends to internal engineering teams, contributing to product and process improvements.


Fit Traits


  • Independent problem-solver who thrives on travel, autonomy, and variety


  • Calm under pressure with strong diagnostic and technical reasoning skills


  • Confident communicator who can train and build trust with customers


  • Committed to quality, professionalism, and first-time resolution


  • Adaptable — comfortable managing both electrical and mechanical challenges in the field


Why This Role Matters


This position is built for the self-reliant technician — someone who takes pride in precision, thrives on travel, and enjoys solving complex challenges head-on. You’ll represent a globally respected brand in advanced testing systems, ensuring customers experience excellence from installation to ongoing support. Every visit is an opportunity to lead, teach, and uphold technical integrity.

Travel:

90–100% (domestic)

Schedule:
