Curious about how things work? Do you thrive in environments that allow you to be both self-motivated and collaborative? Do you enjoy solving problems and finding solutions that make a real impact?
At Instron , we design and manufacture mechanical testing systems that shape the products you use every day, from the crispness of a potato chip to the durability of eyewear. Our technology is trusted by 95% of the world’s largest manufacturers, and we’re proud of the collaborative, innovative culture that drives our success.
If you’re energized by problem-solving, eager to learn, and passionate about helping customers overcome challenges, this role is for you.

- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
- Comfort with technology and an interest in technical concepts (we’ll train you!)
- Ability to work independently and contribute to a small, close-knit team
- Career Changers Welcome
- If you’ve worked in labs, tech support, manufacturing, or any role where you solve problems and learn on the fly, you’ll fit right in. We value initiative and curiosity over traditional sales experience.
- Education: Requirements
- Associate’s degree or higher is preferred; technical degree and equivalent experience are also valued.
- Instron is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
