Skills & Attributes- Imagination and creativity: you view engineering as a creative act, not only as a set of deterministic procedures to make scientific knowledge useful; imagination is more important than knowledge
- Comfort with ambiguity: you develop and test directionally correct ideas but you are willing to be wrong and abandon when the technical feasibility or market does not support them
- High agency: you are motivated to ideate but also create the structure to implement without being told exactly what to do or how
- Technical credibility: you have worked in multiple technical domains, are comfortable moving across them, and curious to learn new ones
- Communication: you are equally comfortable speaking to operators and technical experts
