{{quote|''"Hey look, buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like 'what is beauty?', because that would [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy]]. I solve '''[[Mr. Fixit|practical problems]]'''."''

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The [[Camp Gay|faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous]] Leeron of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. For the first half of the series, he practically takes care of all the Gunmen, the Gurren Lagann ''and'' the massive Dai-Gurren all by himself! And post-timeskip, he's even MORE talented.
* The maintenance crew in ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar|Godannar]]''. Also a major source of comedy and [[UST]].
* Gai from ''[[Getter Robo]]'', in all his incarnations, is the main engineer in charge of maintaining the Getter Machines. He also becomes an [[Ascended Fanboy]] when he ends up in the pilot seat of Go/Neo Getter-3 and Shin Getter-3.
* Franky from ''[[One Piece]]'' is the crews shipwright, responsible for the upkeep of the [[Cool Boat|Thousand Sunny]] (which he designed and built, of course). He's a Combat Engineer by virtue of turning himself into a cyborg.

* PROTAGONIST engineer from ''[[Doom|Doom 3's]]'' expansion pack
* In [[Knights of the Old Republic]], T3-M4. And Bao-dur in the sequel. Bao-Dur in the second [[Knights of the Old Republic]] is a Tech Specialist (a class unique to him). His hit points aren't great, but he gets insane bonuses to his technical stats, making him very useful for slicing, droid repair, and most anything that isn't brawling or bluff. {{spoiler|It's almost not worth it to cross-class him.}}
* ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'' has Mechanics as a class of [[Player MooksMook]]s. They're the ones who patch up your vehicles between battles, though you'll need [[Mad Scientist|Professors]] to improve them. Oh, and they can do field repairs with giant wrenches.
* ''[[Sly Cooper]]'''s Bentley. In the first game he is mainly much needed Support, but in the second and particularly the third he outfits himself with some sleep darts and explosives and heads out into the field, proving himself to be truly badass in Combat as well.
* Party member [[Wrench Wench|Tali]] from ''[[Mass Effect]]'' is acknowledged to be a mechanical and programming/hacking genius, even landing the job of Chief Engineer on the ship in the second game. [[Player Character|Shepard's]] class can also be engineer, giving you numerous technical skills, though you still mostly use them to blow stuff up. There are 2 main indicators which show just how brilliant Tali is at her job:
