If you write a systems language as a primary part of your job, you might not be an engineer. In all seriousness though, I hate having to add a bunch of tooling to my dev process so that I get to write extra syntax to avoid warnings about valid code in the language as it is actually interpreted by the CPU. It’s bureaucratic bs, so yeah, I avoid roles heavy on C. Assembly has a type system already. Its rules are laid out in easy to read specs. Maybe ”engineers” should learn how Assembly works instead of placing “safety” features in the way of their half baked understanding of the code and how it interacts with external data from the terminal, disks and so on.
