Physical Demands

Occasional work may be done in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom environment. Powder free gloves face masks hairnets gowns and shoe covers must be worn. Because smokers continue to shed thousands of smoke particles even hours after smoking a cigarette and these particles will damage our products only non-smokers are permitted to enter or work in the cleanroom. As a result the successful candidate must be a nonsmoker.
