The Razer Blade 15 is very good for engineering and design, while the HP Omen 15 is good.
The HP Omen 15, with its Ryzen 7 CPU and RTX 3070 GPU, offers solid performance for engineering tasks, but the Razer Blade 15's Intel i7 CPU and RTX 3070 Ti GPU provide a cutting-edge performance bump, especially helpful in power-intensive design work, and its higher-resolution screen better displays fine details. While both laptops have commendable keyboards and build quality, the Razer Blade 15 edges out with a higher portability score despite its superior screen, making it a better choice for those on the move who also need top-tier performance and display quality.

How the HP Omen 15 and the Razer Blade 15 compare to other laptops
"We consider around 1,260 Euros (~$1530) for a Ryzen 7 4800H, a GeForce RTX 2060, a 512 GB SSD and 16 GB dual-channel RAM to be a good offer that appeals to price-conscious gamers. Very high details are rarely a problem in the native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. Buyers will also be spoiled with a top-notch battery life that even beats most other notebook classes. If HP now improves the speed of the WLAN module, the stability of the case and the repeatedly criticized picture quality, the competition will have to dress extra warmly."
"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
