No, I don't think so. Who reverse engineers some different new thing every day? The ordinary job part is doing a bunch of tasks that don't even get separate rolls in
GURPS, just subsumed into the Concept and Prototype rolls and as monthly Job rolls. "Machining a part" or "testing the carbon content of this steel" are the easy tasks.
You can't just say "My character's job is 'world-class genius' so he gets +10 to all rolls for invention, because that stuff is automatic for him" anymore than you can just say "My character's job is 'best fighter in the world' so he gets +10 on all rolls in combat because defeating lesser foes is automatic for him".
