No offense but if an organization does not listen to engineering in determining how to deal with a technical problem, that is an enormous red flag. While maybe the engineer won't actually make the call, the engineer should inform management's understanding of the costs of the approach and the efficacy of alternatives, and management should go along with that recommendation unless they have a good reason not to. Of course tone is important, someone saying "fuck no, I ain't doing that" likely indeed would be unpleasant to work with, but a respectful "I would recommend against doing that" is the sign of a confident and intelligent professional.
