Otherwise, it would be obvious right away when you've got a doctor attempting to break into the engine and clip wires, smash things, or leak plasma. Perhaps I'm just not knowledgeable enough with the game mechanics but I feel like a lot of this would require tools and would eliminate the need to be a changeling.Not necessarily, and as a matter of fact, it's very likely that you might get a different objective from your job! The thing is, as a changeling, you gain the memories and knowledge of everyone you absorb. So if you're a doctor ling and get an objective to smash up the engine, you'll probably need to absorb one of the engineers in order to do so!
As for the infecting thing, I agree that the changeling's infection mechanic would need to be blatantly obvious to both the person being infected and observers. It's a risky move but with a substantial payoff.
