Engineer

A human engineer

"Eh, seems like you're a pretty decent mechanic, Nena."
"Well, technically, I'm an engineer."

―Jarek Yeager and Nenavakasa Nalor

An engineer was an individual involved in the design, maintenance, or construction of infrastructure, starships, or technology. Some ships had a dedicated engineering area. Several companies specialized in engineering, such as the Quarren Free Dac Volunteers Engineering Corps, Corellian Engineering Corporation, Theed Engineering, and Cygnus Spaceworks. Nenavakasa Nalor was a Nikto engineer during the First Order-Resistance War.
