What is a life support engineer?

Life Support Engineers are professionals who design, maintain, and oversee systems that provide essential resources such as air, water, temperature control, and pressure regulation in environments where humans cannot survive unaided, such as space stations, submarines, or research labs. Their work ensures the safety and well-being of crew members by monitoring environmental conditions and responding to emergencies. They often collaborate with scientists, medical personnel, and other engineers to develop and implement life support technologies.
