Blackfox Training Institute is currently recruiting instructors. The company has officially expanded its training and certification capabilities by moving into new expanded facilities in Arizona and opening a new facility in Singapore.

Each of the Blackfox training centers have resident Master IPC Trainers as well as Master IPC Trainers that travel the world delivering all of the training programs at their customers’ facilities.
Due to this huge growth spurt, Blackfox is searching for instructors to join in the excitement and to experience the Blackfox difference. Qualifications include; years of hands on experience in electronics manufacturing, teaching experience, and familiarity with the IPC Standards. Current IPC certifications are a definite plus. Interested candidates should forward their resumes to Sharon at sharonm@blackfox.com.
