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 technicians must be aware of the acoustic properties of motors and good hearing is required. Good vision
is also required to inspect components. The test technician is frequently required to use hands or fingers,
handle or feel objects, tools, or controls.
Test technicians 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 technicians to 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).
