How Does Justin Bieber Describe His Job?

Frequently, I try explaining what I do at work to non-technical people and end up sounding like a glorified toddler. For example, the other day I got dressed to go into the cleanroom to work on the energizing sequence of a 4-phase stepper motor. Windup in the motor's gear train was generating enough torque to pull the rotor out of the magnetic detent of the powered phase. I was trying to find a work around. 'So basically,' I said, 'I got to work, put on my onesie, and played with magnets all day.'
