Work Environment:
The work environment characteristics described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
Majority of the work is done at a desk in a typical office layout – cubicle and development laboratory. Testing is performed in an environmentally controlled lab. Safety glasses are required and hearing protection maybe occasionally required in the factory floor area. Some testing is conducted in a non-climate controlled hallway, where temperature variations (hot and cold) occur. Some testing conducted in a separate metal building that is climate controlled but requires additional safety measures due to the presence of high pressure O2.
