I am not saying you have to do anything, or that the complexity of the
system is anyones fault. From my engineering background, I can say
that there are many big, complex projects that are done where all
kinds of skill levels are involved. The senior engineers who have all
of the experience assign the junior engineers small tasks which still
have to be done, but at the same time help to familiarize them them
with the system and design process. I am merely looking to see if
there are any of those types of tasks that might be floating around
somewhere.
