Physical Effort - Work requires standing, walking, bending, crouching, reaching, stooping and sitting for extended periods or time working in cramped and/or awkward positions. Lifts and carries items weighing from 10 to 40 pounds, and occasionally objects weighing in excess of 40 pounds. Uses moderate physical effort, fine finger dexterity and close visual attention.

Working Conditions - Work is performed under shop conditions in an adequately lighted, heated and ventilated warehouse. Subject to loud noises, heat, cold, fumes, dirt, grease and the possibility of cuts, bruises, and injury when using tools and testing equipment. There is the hazard of electrical shock and burns, injury from moving machinery, and falls from heights. Occasionally required to work in other buildings and is exposed to noises, fumes, dust and grease. Travel to other sites is required approximately 50% of the time.
