Engineer

A human engineer

"Engineers and their conclusions are sometimes wrong."

―Darth Vader

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.
