Module Associate Engineer interview process

For the first three months, work as an assistant engineer (AE) maintaining equipment → after passing the assessment, become a regular AE → then begin 3–9 months of module associate engineer and shift-duty training (MAE, equipment maintenance) → after passing the assessment, become an MAE

Work schedule per month: 2 weeks of day shift, 1 week of swing shift, and 1 week of night shift

Weekend duty is required (12-hour, two-shift system). Including the week of night shifts, there are at most four duty shifts per month.

Day shift: 08:30–17:00; swing shift: 15:30–00:00; night shift: 00:00–08:00

They said handover between shifts takes about half an hour; if there are issues, it may run later. They said overtime can be reported.

The supervisor clarified that MAEs do not receive AE salaries; the compensation is different.

Employees with no experience start at job grade 23.

Compensation needs to be negotiated with HR.

The future plan is for equipment engineers to no longer rotate onto night shifts.

Once enough MAEs have been trained, MAEs will cover the night shifts.

Equipment engineers will then be able to work on other improvement projects.

Basically, the well-known drawbacks are having to work shifts, being in the FAB, having to surrender your phone, and so on.
