independent judgment and confidence acting on incomplete information
Technical
Walk me through how you'd troubleshoot a home standby generator that starts fine but drops offline intermittently once it's under load.
whether the candidate has a systematic diagnostic method for mechanical and electrical faults rather than guessing

How would you approach diagnosing a fault in a solar inverter system that's tied into a transfer switch, when you suspect the issue could be in either component?
understanding of system integration and root-cause isolation across multiple product lines
What's your process for documenting a case when the root cause isn't obvious and you need to escalate it to engineering?
discipline in documentation and ability to build a case that's useful to other teams
How do you explain AC versus DC power fundamentals to a new dealer technician who's struggling with the concept?
solidity of core electrical theory knowledge and teaching ability
What would you look for first if you got a report that several units of the same model were failing in the field around the same time?

Situational
A frustrated dealer calls in after their third failed attempt to fix a unit, and they're getting sharp with you. How do you handle that call?
composure and de-escalation skills under stress with a technical audience
You're mentoring a newer technical service rep who keeps giving dealers incomplete troubleshooting steps. How do you address that?
coaching ability and whether they can correct others without damaging confidence or team morale
