There are a wide variety of engineering jobs and some of them require regular communication with people who might not know you and who are therefore are more likely to misinterpet things like lack of eye contact. Tech leads, developer relations, etc. People who are not good communicators and people who don't seem like good communicators, to the people being communicated to, are at a disadvantage for these jobs, at least until we eliminate miscommunication from human interaction (which I most sincerely hope someone, somewhere, is working on...)
