My idea is to give the engineering cyborgs some kind of tool to carry the interdictor rods/mainboards and computer boards to allow them to build the various computers/interdictors. Could also blacklist certain boards to prevent them from just grabbing the cyborg control console/cloner boards and hiding it on them.

Agreed. It's already a massive issue with engineering borgs starting with RCD's and engineers only have very limited access to them.

I get where you're coming from, but (engineering) silicons will always need cooperation with carbons to get complex tasks done.
Engineering cyborgs are already material-mules with a wide array a tools that can't be stolen. You can place and shape metal and glass with robotic efficiency, but still need some sausage-fingers to insert a piece of RAM.
