Additional Information
Physical Demands and Work Environment:
This position requires handling motors and inverters using cranes and other lifting equipment. It also requires climbing on propeller stands using proper safety equipment to inspect the equipment.
Test engineers must be aware of the acoustic properties of motors and good hearing is required. Good vision is also required to inspect components. The test engineers frequently are required to use hands or fingers, handle or feel objects, tools, or controls.
Test engineers will work around high voltages and must be able to work safely in that environment. Some of the testing is conducted outside the ability to work at those extreme temperatures is required.
Test programs sometimes require the test engineers to be present during night testing, or participate in atypical work schedules.
Additionally, as magnets are used throughout the equipment, it is important that candidates are not affected by strong magnetic fields (e.g., individuals with pacemakers or similar medical devices should be aware of potential safety concerns).
