kiteboarding and engineering?

I've been wondering, is engineering a trade that is utilized in kiteboarding? Maybe I'm dreaming here, but I've always wanted to get into working on mountain bikes, Kiteboarding, or basically anything else related to my hobbies. It seems like engineering could definitely go into the bars, and materials. I wonder how much engineering goes into the canopy shape and construction vs. how much is focused on test iteration. My guess would be that Foils have much more engineering as they are a known shape. Any industry gues out there? whats the scoop?
