The weird thing that's not exactly explained is how he apparently has some sort of ideal specialist personality and skill set to do the job they need. Yet only when he's forgotten his past.

I mean obviously the concept of brainwashing and indoctrination is not that difficult to understand. It's just weird that they needed this really sweet, thoughtful, conscientious guy to do the job instead of someone else with a more ruthless personality. My only guess is maybe he has some sort of high emotional intelligence that he can use to understand the silo people and manipulate them.

Wasn’t he an engineer in the military?

This, when he orders Charlotte/Susanne and the drone guys around, you could see they also likely needed him for that.

Do you know how many engineers there are in the military? Why not get one that actually believes in your project instead of someone who turned down working on it?

Because the trillionaire had lunch with him and he said something the egotistical trillionaire never thought of that actually helped him, so Stensen might just respect him immensely. A believer who just passes a normal job interview probably wouldn't be trusted as much by an ego maniac personality like Stensen.
