define top engineering employers?

To my kid, it was Ford, GM, Stellantis and to anyone else who produced a car.

To others it might be Lockheed or Gen Dyn.

To others, high tech.

To others, oil companies or mines

There are beyond thousands of companies hiring engineers - so I wouldn’t take much stock in a “top” list when it comes to engineering employers.
