This is how hiring should work. You hire people to do the things that you can’t. The managers who only hire people worse than themselves so they can one-up their own employees are super toxic.

The project manager for an engineering team doesn’t need to be the best engineer on the team. In fact, they shouldn’t be the best engineer, because then your best engineer is wasting their time with project management work. Some engineering experience will be helpful in communicating with the team, but the most important part is not that they’re a good engineer; They need to be a good project manager first.
