You keep mentioning “very competent engineers” which somehow experience repeated short tenures. Might I suggest that competency is not just about technical skills, and that soft skills are also part of the expected “brilliant engineer” package?

Soft skills are sufficiently different, so that mismatch their should be considered differently. Just like hiring is a hard problem, retaining hard-skillers is something industry has no good solution at the moment.
