The alias (Ricardo Klement) and a Buenos Aires-area residence are supported, but the claimed job is contradicted: the Mossad archive account (AP, tier1) says he worked at a Mercedes-Benz factory, not as an accountant for a small machine firm.
What was said
… He was still married to his wife, you know, who he'd brought with him. He actually had a young child, you know, who'd arrived late in life, you know, and he was working some sort of office job. I think he was working as an accountant for some small machine firm or something. You know, and and living in the Buenos Aires suburbs, just kind of minding his own business. You know, I mean, he was living under an alias, but it's not like he was under deep cover or something. And um. When, uh. When this kind of entered the public mind. You know, very suddenly, uh, the the question became, why is this man free? Why isn't he facing justice? …

Contradicts. The AP account says Eichmann worked at a Mercedes-Benz factory under the Ricardo Klement alias, which is a car manufacturer, not a small machine firm, and the claim's accountant role is not stated by any source.[1][2]
Contradicts. Sources describe Eichmann behind a desk at CAPRI, a construction company headquartered in Buenos Aires, and as a welder or technician in other accounts, none of which matches an accountant role at a machine firm.[3][4][5]
Supports. Multiple sources confirm Eichmann lived in Argentina under the alias Ricardo Klement.[1][6][7][8]
Supports. A German-language source places Eichmann's work at the Daimler-Benz plant in González Catán, a Buenos Aires suburb, and says he lived under the Klement name.[5]
Context. The claimant's own podcast passage is not evidence; it hedges the job description with "I think".[9]
