This is kind of tricky, as I&#x27;m assuming that, unlike say a hard engineer that works on a Power Plant or a Bridge, they&#x27;re not licensed as a Professional Engineer.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nspe.org&#x2F;resources&#x2F;licensure&#x2F;what-pe" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nspe.org&#x2F;resources&#x2F;licensure&#x2F;what-pe</a><p>In that case the organization would be responsible to a degree, but so would engineers that sign off on something like this.  The coder shouldn&#x27;t solely be responsible, but if you sniff something dirty in the water imo it&#x27;s your moral responsibility to raise something, or resign.  I hope that if I&#x27;m in a similar position (probably won&#x27;t be because I don&#x27;t work on anything that will kill a person if poorly engineered) that I would react appropriately.<p>That said, this guy is probably full of crap and is just throwing whoever he can under the bus to preserve whatever stock value is left.
