They also test out the things that they create.  

    • Direct and coordinate the design, manufacture, and testing of aircraft and aerospace products
    • Assess proposals for projects to determine if they are technically and financially feasible
    • Determine if proposed projects will result in safe aircraft and parts
    • Evaluate designs to see that the products meet engineering principles, customer requirements, and environmental challenges
    • Develop acceptance criteria for design methods, quality standards, sustainment after delivery, and completion dates
    • Ensure that projects meet quality standards
    • Inspect malfunctioning or damaged products to identify sources of problems and possible solutions
