The key word in the title seems to be "engineer". I can't find a specific lawsuit relating to an engineer but there are plenty of lawsuits to be found. For example, https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/release/10-26-17.cfm https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/release/10-26-17.cfm When you do a google search for lawsuits related to hiring discrimination, you are far far more likely to find the cases that became publicized because they have merit. Journalists and other organizations don't tend to write headlines along the lines of "Google got sued by candidate for baseless claim of discrimination, but suit was quickly tossed out". It doesn't mean these lawsuits don't happen. In fact, it's a huge PITA to defend youself when someone accuses you of discrimination. Imagine an engineer who isn't very bright, but doesn't think that of themselves. So you tell them that they didn't do well, but they disagree. And then they sue on grounds of discrimination. Now, you have to prove that you don't discriminate, which can be pretty hard to do.
