> I don’t see why you need an engineer to manage engineers.

I do, every time I see that ring engineers wear.

The company has its bottom line, people can lose jobs, but the engineer's bottom line must come first or people die. Boeing got that wrong and you haven't learned the lesson? That's what the ring's for: lessons paid in blood.

Don't get me wrong, not everybody called an engineer needs this mindset. But specifically when we're talking about Boeing? Yeah. You need engineers in the lead throughout the whole process, all the way to the top. Shit rolls downhill.
