Or you could just have it as an NPC. A background character, really. Only have it show up or become relevant when necessity calls. It'd also be there if someone else decided they wanted to join in when they didn't get a chance in the beginning. Hell, you could just have the Engineer kept in stasis FOR such a situation. Or, to use the kill theme, the engineer could be used in the plot, killing him off as the first major death.
Just some suggestions.
