Heading: Francis' Statements About Troubleshooting

Text: 41 Mulloy also argues that the district court erred in crediting Francis' statement that Mulloy needed to see the machines in order to troubleshoot them. Mulloy notes that the job description refers only to training and supporting maintenance personnel to troubleshoot. According to Mulloy, it is the maintenance personnel — not Mulloy — who need to be able to see the machines. Even if we ascribe this meaning to the words cited by Mulloy, Mulloy's argument is not significantly probative and, in all events, it is directly contradicted by other items in the record. In a second, more detailed job description not referenced by Mulloy, the duties of an electrical engineer include troubleshoot[ing] process-related issues using proven problem solving techniques as well as [t]rain[ing] and support[ing] maintenance personnel to troubleshoot. And in his Statement of Material Facts, Mulloy expressly agreed with Acushnet's list of job responsibilities, which included training and supporting maintenance personnel, [and] troubleshooting electrical and electronic controls, as well as with Acushnet's statement that Mulloy was responsible for troubleshooting and developing new equipment. The district court did not err in considering Francis' statements about troubleshooting. 42
