Enlisting[edit source]
There are two ways for someone to become an Engineer:[2]
- Request to become one when enlisting.
- Request for a transfer after enlisting.
Like in the case of Fuyushima, there are rare occasions where an Engineer was transferred to a Squad as an agent.[3]

Daisuke Ashihara: Q: If you were to enlist in Border, Ashihara-sensei, what would your position be?
A: I think a Gunner seems fun. But I’m very bad at athletics (lol), maybe Operator (lol). They haven’t really shown up in the story much, but there’s a department of engineers, and they make and adjust triggers. I think I might have fun there too.
