I'd hire this guy in an instant over a rando with a degree and no experience. Engineering degrees are by themselves not very useful, but they are an indicator that you can learn and to an extent teach yourself you need to know to solve problems. This guy has demonstrated that he would probably be extremely successful in most any engineering role I can imagine having a need for, with the possible exception of needing consultation on some really bleeding edge theoretical stuff that would normally be best served by a PhD.
