Other responsibilities will be to maintain the troubleshooting database, TRAX, with GEICA support and to upload special tools required for HPC products into the Atlas Copco Tool House system. Other duties of the position are to provide details of spare components to the NSC (North American Service Center) which are required for CTS to ensure equipment reliability, performance, and customer satisfaction. This role will publish a field change as an ECB (Engineering Change Bulletin) after the Technical Support Manager has reviewed any ECO (Engineering Change Orders) to determine if it is applicable. Additional duties will be to providetraining information to the Customer Centers via a TSC (Technical Service Convention) and / or participate in classes at the Air Academy.

Technical Support (30%)
Provide direct technical support to the Customer Center Technical Support teams when a challenging issue cannot be resolved by them using their factory supplied training and / or information. Communications with the CC Technical Support teams will be primarily through the MQ (MyQuest) ticket system, FFF (Fast Field Feedback), or FReT (Failure Report). Only in unique cases will the need arise to discuss directly, either with email or phone call, to the Technical Support Team, CTS technicians or Sales personnel of the Customer Center. Only after approval from the factory management team, a visit to customer sites (external) or Customer Centers (internal) may be required to inspect equipment involved in a special and / or difficult case when issues could not be resolved through the remote communication process.
Warranty Claims and Root Cause Analysis (30%) The role will review and process the various reports from the Customer Center through the MQ (MyQuest) ticket system, FFF (Fast Field Feedback), FReT (Failure Report) and WAnT (Warranty claims). Some may subsequently be processed into a TCM (Technical Committee Meeting) if the problems reported require additional support from the other teams within the factory. Failed components reported in FReT may require further analysis and can be returned to the factory via the RMA (Return Material Authorization). Any solutions or design changes arising of the TCM are then communicated back to the CTS teams through the appropriate channels, such as MQ or ECB. Reports from the field are to be summarized regularly into PQM (Product Quality Meeting), Warranty Reports, as well report the status of MQ tickets, FFF, FReT, and TCM. All will all be reviewed by the Technical Support Manager prior to the factory General Manager review.
