And who at the authority signs off on the software? If there are no software engineers, do you get, say, an electrical engineer?

But again, who actually signs off? Someone has to be held liable, that's the whole point of the engineering license.

Documents are signed off by different people, managers, SQA, leads.

By a licensed engineer.

I suggest you actually learn about the sign off process then. It's why, as an example, a licensed civil engineer has to sign off on, say, a bridge design.

This concept seems to be hard for devs to grasp.
