Is that their primary job, or a smaller part of their overall responsibilities?

Depends upon how you looks at it. They are the technical expert, and spend a significant amount of time, 25-50% on the code. These are in-house analysis packages used by many engineers.

In reality,this code cannot be written by the phds alone, nor can it be done by the true software developers. That’s probably the point I was really trying to make. Sometime engineers find themselves needed for the code due to engineering expertise, but don’t have the skill set to do the whole thing.
