Read the book. Watney was an engineer in the book who’s secondary MOS was botanist.
He also makes fun of the entire “Iron Man” incident.

Right.
But saying he is an engineer is both unfunny and doesn’t make it obvious I’m joking.
Not sure how you turn that to “not reading the book.”
Especially as the book does say he is on the mission as the botanist, having formal education in it and running experiments on plants in microgravity for the mission. The maintenance side was his add on specialty. No formal education in anything engineering.
