      Sometimes we have models of our products made from Lego because it’s really cool.
      But normally we don’t get to plat with actual Lego, however system engineer is a lot like Lego. When we do system engineering we are designing a big thing (like a spacecraft) by bolting together lots of smaller things (like electronics modules) which are all different but all talk to each other in the same way.
      In Lego terms, Systems engineers design the fancy big model, but the module engineers design the individual Lego bricks.
