What kind of scenario could you see an engineer getting charged? I find that pretty hard to imagine here.

For what its worth, Volkswagon did have at least one engineer(software) convicted for the emissions issue[1].

With that said, I don't know if that is applicable here as I'm not even aware of what the potential charges might be.
