> The primary employee responsible for the screwdriver seemed to be a production engineer with 10 years experience.

The first primary employee responsible for the screwdriver was the affable but very young Alex ("I know SolidWorks"). I like his car review videos!

Then towards the like the last third of the project lifecycle they hired this guy with a decade of experience, but wasn't it mostly in EE?
