Her qualifications shouldn’t be “most developed other character”.

I'm hot and cold on her to be honest, I know her character is to be the poorly adjusted nerd with poor people skills, so in what world on a 300 person ship is there not a better person to take that role. They have that no name blond officer that walks around on the bridge and sits in the Captains chair. What about her? Oh yeah, we don't know her name and she's a piece of furniture with a pony tail.
You would expect that the first officer would be someone that can take up the Captain's mantle when he gets blown up during a battle. A first officer needs to understand every aspect of the ship, and understand how to make command and fight the ship if need be. Also a good Executive offer has to offer counter points to the Captain, and be able to argue them professionally while preserving the chain of command during disagreements. I would be a crew member and be thinking, she's the Captain if the Captain goes down, God help us.
I expect that at some point in the season, we're going to get Saru injured during a battle and Tilley will have to take over and that will be her character discovery moment.
