Summary
Do you enjoy figuring out how things work and then helping someone else understand them? Stored Energy Systems (SENS) is looking for a technically capable, curious, and personable individual who wants to grow into a professional Technical Instructor.

You'll still work with equipment. You'll still troubleshoot. You'll still learn new technology, but your job becomes helping other people become technically capable.
You will have the opportunity to develop professional skills in technical instruction, curriculum development, hands-on lab instruction, presentation, and adult learning while building expertise in industrial power-conversion technology. This position is part of a defined career path within Training & Development and cross-functional career opportunities may also exist within Field Service, Customer Support, and other technical areas.
