That, depending on the company, a prospective engineer
could have been employed based on his expertise and been treated to a greater starting pay - exactly because he is a foreigner and can get away with such a thing.
Or, as the OP's info and Nyororin's insight says, he will start at the
relative bottom. Depending on the position and department of the company he is entering there may be much greater opportunity for promotion and bonuses than if he were starting at the 'bottom' as a grease monkey.
(for what it's worth, I read a book called 'Blue-Eyed Salaryman' a while back about a foreigner joining mitsubishi in the late 80s - v.different economical era I know - but that generally agreed with what Nyororin said)
