But yes most design groups have a lot of engineers with a smaller subset of PEs. The PE test is a commitment and it isn't easy, plus I think a lot of people don't want the responsibility that comes from stamping something.

mmm, i mean yes, medical devices are subject to a lot of regulatory for sure. but also plenty of unregulated industries, no PE signs off on what they are selling you. basically that is limited to structural, civil and environmental stuff.
and then there are plenty of engineering that isnt actually in product development, but process and research areas too. figuring out how to optimize production processes, stuff like that. that stuff never leaves the building, but its all engineering too.
