I spent a good amount of time outside when I worked for an automotive company. And just a lot of time being active in general. Technically I was just a software engineer, but I was in a department of mostly mechanical engineers.

My days were split up by small things to do like go pickup a vehicle from a coworker. Go to the test track to collect data. Help another engineer debug a vehicle. Review functionality of a prototype with a mechanic. Etc.

On paper all that sounds a bit annoying, and it was some days. After changing jobs and working fully remote with covid though, I do miss having a reason to get up.
