Junior Engineers have a reasonable understanding of core engineering concepts, such as Keep it Simple (KISS), Don’t repeat yourself (DRY), You ain't gonna need it (YAGNI) and are focused on expanding that understanding and growing as an engineer. They should have a basic understanding of the squad’s tools and processes and a broad introduction to engineering best practices.
