Technical engineer Jobs in Riverside, CA

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are a paint protection film manufacturer based in Jurupa Valley, CA, and we are seeking an elite PPF Installation Trainer to serve as the technical authority between our products and the professionals who install them. This is one of the most important roles in the company. You will be responsible for developing and delivering structured installation training programs for new and existing customers, establishing our reputation for technical excellence from the very first interaction. Beyond training, you will be a direct contributor to our product development process — evaluating film performance in real installation conditions and providing the kind of hands-on technical feedback that can only come from someone who has done this work at the highest level. This is primarily an on-site position at our Jurupa Valley headquarters with expected 25% travel. We are looking for a seasoned PPF professional who is not only masterful at the craft but who also has the communication skills, patience, and professionalism to elevate others.
