Engineers can be recruited by spending Rank Points. 1 Engineer will increase your max energy by 1 point. Each Rank Point spent will recruit 2 Engineers. So spending a full levels worth of rank points can hire 10 Engineers (5 Rank points x 2 = 10), increasing your max energy by 10.
Note that Engineers have no effect on energy charge rates. To increase your energy charge rate, build Relays.
Also note that Engineers will help defend your ship from enemy raids during attacks, and will also help you to raid enemy ships. They are not as good at doing this as Tactical Officers, though.
