I work in manufacturing and we have multiple engineers on staff. I'm not really sure why because we should have competent maintenance people doing those jobs instead. They have zero trouble shooting skill. The first thing they do is open their laptops. They don't physically look at anything to try to figure out issues. They spend hours trying to figure out basic problems, it's ridiculous. At the last place I worked operators would be fixing most of these things.
