And look, you are correct!
Moving this one since it includes Torres. Will close the other as a duplicate.
Scotty's the miracle worker.
The one who I'd have fix my car: Scotty.
The one who I'd have fix my computer: Geordi.

Yeah sorry still new to this. Technology and me do not agreeAnd look, you are correct!

For figuring out alien tech or coming up with an all-new way to save everybody's bacon: Torres.
For keeping a ship running through standard adversity and a daredevil captain: Scotty.
For fixing a piece of junk again and again and again with a bent hammer and 2½ loops of plasma wire: Tucker
For following orders to the hilt, no matter what it takes: O'Brien
For making it clear to the customer that what he asks isn't going to happen: LaForge
For doing it anyway: Stamets
All these qualities would need to be combined in one person or at least one engineering team to let a starship survive a season of Star Trek. They just happen to reach their peak in these specific characters.

Good analysis
Now I wouldn’t call the nx-01 a pice of junk. A starship with a lot of rough edges that could use more weapons, yes. Junk, no considering all it went through during its ten years of service.
O'Brien
Stamets came up with a new drive system that granted instant transit anywhere (and perhaps anywhen) in the multiverse.
Old Scotty came up with a formula to give any transporter virtually infinite range.
Stamets invention is perhaps a step ahead of Scotty's, but Scotty is still the one I'd want in engineering if Romulans, Klingons or a Giant Space Amoeba were attacking.

I have to say O'Brien. He not only took care of any issues on the station, but the Defiant and any alien vessels docked at the station. To be able to work continually not knowing what tech was going to be repaired on next, followed by his staunch loyalty and being a great family man, he is my pick.
Voted for Scotty though I appreciate all the opinions in this thread.
However, Scotty not only is a good engineer but steps up in to command roles as necessary.

The one to fix my mushroom pizza: Stamets.
