Tell me about a time you noticed a pattern in problems and reported it so something could be fixed.

What they are checking: Whether they gather failure data in a way that helps improve the product, which the role asks them to do.

What would you do

How would you guide a dealer tech through a remote diagnostic tool when they are less comfortable with it than you are?

A dealer is angry because this is the third call about the same unit. How do you handle that call?

You get a question you cannot answer and the dealer needs help now. What do you do?

You have calls and emails piling up. How do you keep track of everything and make sure nothing falls through?

What they are checking: Whether they can manage a steady queue and follow up until each issue is resolved.

About the work

A dealer technician calls and says a home standby generator will not start. Walk me through the first questions you would ask.

What they are checking: Whether they follow a logical diagnostic path over the phone instead of guessing, since the dealer is their hands on the unit.

You authorize warranty repairs and send parts. How do you decide if a failure is covered?

What they are checking: Whether they weigh evidence fairly, protecting the company from bad claims while treating dealers honestly.

Why do the notes you write during a call matter so much in this job?

What they are checking: Whether they understand that clear notes let the next person pick up the case and help engineering spot failure trends.
