What tools or techniques do you use to ensure effective knowledge transfer within engineering teams, especially when team members leave or the project transitions? We try to maintain adequate documentation and deploy standard trainings.

I graduated in 2023 currently living in Florida with 3.5 years of experience in aerospace. I got my engineering degree in electrical and I’m wondering if I’m screwed trying to land a job within electrical power or energy? The closest experience I really have within my degree is basic circuit board building, basic circuit design in programs like Pspice, and using a digital oscilloscope. To this day, the closest I can think of that I have experience in is reading low level c code and logic design.
What’s the greenest flag you’ve seen in an engineering team’s culture? For me it’s when senior engineers ask questions in public channels instead of always having the answers. It normalizes not knowing everything and makes it way easier for junior folks to speak up without feeling like they’ll be judged.
Often the hand over is only a few weeks in length. Generally, someone will write a detailed report of each project they are working on giving a list of each document and it's relevance to the project. Then there is a hand over meeting (or a couple). It's tough when some projects are years in the making, but it seems to be working more or less.
For sure
