Can anyone offer any information regarding this person's position in the military?

Here's a picture. AFAIK he was a member of the k.u.k. Austro-Hungarian armed forces. I see three stars and a diagonal stripe on his collar, and an armband on his arm, but I am lost at identifying it in more detail. Help would be appreciated.
