Can SRO be repair with the engineering skill?

I know that you need to use engineering to do medicine, but I'm just wondering if the can be repair with engineering

Basically, no. The engineering skill for repairs functions on items and interacts with the broken condition and the like, none of which applies to a PC, they do not count as objects.

Of course it can be repaired with the engineering skill. You just use the options listed under the Medicine skill.

To be clear, what I mean is using:

"Repair Item
You can use Engineering to repair a mechanical, technological, or hybrid object or piece of equipment, as long you have access to it. The amount of time this takes typically depends on the complexity of the object. You can repair an object or piece of equipment you crafted in half the usual time. The DC of the check is determined by the GM and based on the complexity of the object. If you succeed, you restore a number of Hit Points equal to the result of your Engineering check. If you fail the check by 10 or more, you damage the object further, dealing 1d4 damage to it; this damage can’t reduce an item to fewer than 1 HP."

I don't see anything expressly prohibiting it, though it does seem somewhat implied.

As GM, I would default to the rules for normal constructs and use that, in addition to being able to use Engineering like the Medicine skill.

Then the answer is no. SROs, like other living beings, use the healing and medicine rules. SROs just require the Engineering skill to make those checks.
