    Good exposure to the latest advancements in wireless communication, IoT, and related technologies.
    The good thingsQuectel is a leader in cellular IoT modules, which are a key component in enabling the Internet of Things (IoT). As an FAE, you'd be directly involved in helping customers develop innovative products and solutions that can improve people's lives in various ways.This role could involve travel and interaction with people from different cultures, giving you a broader perspective. You'll gain in-depth knowledge of Quectel's cellular IoT modules, including 5G, LTE, LPWA, Automotive, and GNSS technologies. This expertise can be valuable throughout your career.
    The challengesFAEs are the primary technical contact for customers, and they are expected to provide timely and effective solutions. Managing customer expectations, especially when facing tight deadlines or unresolved issues, can be challenging. Balancing multiple customer projects simultaneously adds to this complexity. Thus, we sometimes need to provide minimum support on public holidays or during PTO. Malaysia, as a multicultural country, has various holidays. Although 14 days public holidays are entitled, but only five compulsory holidays that fall on a Saturday can be replaced. This could be improved. The role often requires travel to customer sites for on-site support, troubleshooting, and training. Additionally, working in different time zones may lead to irregular working hours. The travel allowance could also be improved, especially since the Ringgit Malaysia (RM) is depreciating nowadays.

    Is a great place to learn new things.
    The good thingsQuectel is renowned for its high-quality wireless communication modules and IoT (Internet of Things) solutions, which are widely appreciated for their reliability, innovation, and versatility. Their products, including cellular modules, GNSS modules, and Wi-Fi/BT modules, support a wide range of applications across various industries such as automotive, smart energy, healthcare, and agriculture. You can learn the latest technology and benefit from a lot of sharing and learning from others.
    The challengesWhen every project runs concurrently and needs to grow with the fast pace of technology, it can be quite challenging to manage the balance between daily workload and self-growth. Additionally, projects need to be well-managed even during holidays, as support must be provided for different regions. Sometimes, this requires offering assistance during holidays. Holidays are fewer compared to other multinational companies; they do not observe all public holidays declared in Malaysia. Only 14 holidays are observed, meaning some festivals need to be sacrificed. Additionally, there is no replacement holiday if a public holiday falls on a Saturday. Only 5 compulsory Holidays fall on a Saturday can be replaced. Work-life balance is challenging to achieve here, as all benefits are still being improved. There is a need for enhancement in benefits, and the HR department is working on it. Previously, holidays were 12 days; now they have increased to 14 days, with hopes of making them competitive with US-based companies.
