NCR engineers are the New California Republic's engineers living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. They can be found walking around the various levels of Hoover Dam.
Background
They are mechanics serving as the repair workers at Hoover Dam. The NCR engineers are proposed by the NCR as a bargaining chip with Mr. House. The NCR assumes without these replaceable technicians, the facility would fall into disrepair and not be able to produce power for New Vegas and the NCR's other interests in the Mojave Wasteland.
