I think the player is supposed to be an engineer or mechanic for the star gate thing that the Aurora was out in that part of the galaxy to construct. If you look at it like this, it would explain that he knows how to repair vehicles and the reactor room on the Aurora. The PDA states when you approach the reactor room that only a qualified person should attempt repairs. You can take this as either he isn't qualified, he's desparate enough to try anyway, and the repair tool magically knows how to fix any tear or damage in any piece of technology; or you can assume that he is qualified to repair it, and it would be impossible to repair for someone who isn't familiar with the technology as the PDA claims. He also knows how to cut through a door with the laser cutter, which isn't something you can just guess at your first try. He's just clearly very experienced with tools and technology.
