Interesting FTE Job Listing

[HOSS 1]

Has anyone else seen the FTE job listing on the SFTE website?

I've seen many job descriptions for a professional Flight Test Engineer, but this one takes the cake.

I'm especially fond of this line in the description:

Makes in-flight repairs, such as replacing fuses, adjusting instruments, and freeing jammed flight control cables, or takes emergency measures to compensate for failure of equipment, such as autopilot, wing heaters, and electrical and hydraulic systems.

Sounds like a pair of pliers and duct tape are required equipment!

Good grief! Thank you for sharing that HOSS 1, cheered me up before a day with the duct tape!
