I'm a licensed Aircraft Mechanic & Inspector with twenty five-plus years in the field. I've had a varied career so far, with time spent in the sheetmetal, mechanic, and inspection specialties. Most of my time is on heavy Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft, of the passenger, cargo, and experimental type. This career isn't for everyone, but I enjoy it.
Please do NOT ask me to troubleshoot problems with your airplane, that is not what this Q&A is for.
No. I have never worked on a B737 Max. The newest B737 I have worked on, is a -400.

There has been a worldwide pandemic going around. People are flying a LOT less these days; which means more empty passenger seats; which means fewer flights; which means fewer planes being used; which means more planes put into storage.
With fewer planes, you need a lot fewer people to run your airline; so lots of layoffs.
The government CARES act money delayed the layoffs for a while. But that money is gone now.

How many years of work experience do you REALLY need before applying?
The DC-10 has the engine mounted above the fuselage through the vertical stab structure. A straight through intake-exhaust setup. As you noted.
The B727 has the intake set above the fuselage, and the engine and exhaust centerline of the fuselage. They use an S-duct to get the intake air down to the engine.
Lockheed L-1011 is set up similarly.
