I've already mentioned the fight against the Myr War Queen, but another one that comes to mind is you're against the Black Void Juggernaut mainly because much damage he deals to you and how much he stuns you. These are the only two fights that I know of that I can never beat. Even with the game set to Easy Mode I still cannot beat them. Like these fights aren't balanced in any way.
Are some of these fights meant to be unfair?

Did you go Melee or Ranged? Generally, you should pick one and stick to it.
Your Intelligence should be 40. It is by far your most important stat as a Tech Specialist.
You should also be taking advantage of the Ten Ton Gym on New Texas to raise your stats. Consider recruiting Ramis, if you haven't already.
Consider picking up Daedalus Threads.
Although the regular Pirate Troopers are immune to Tease, the Juggernaut isn't. I can't offer specific advice for the War Queen, as I've only done that quest once.
If all else fails, you can use the FZR + Crushing combo. Four rounds of automatic criticals (8 attacks if you have Second Attack) is insane.
For comparison, here are my stats when I went through Kara Quest 2 as a Melee, Drone Tech Specialist:

I've found that Shield Tech with Charge Weapon slays even on the games most unfair encounters, like when you fight two of those ninja guys in BDSM quest.
Have you tried the Bimboleum Defense System? Being vulnerable to tease damage, if you boost your shields as much as possible, this could probably give you the edge you need.
Stats are too low for your level. At level 8 you have a stat cap of 40, which should be in Aim and Intelligence for a Tech Specialist. Remember you can train your stats.
Intelligence is super easy if Syri is on Mhenga as once you have her in the talking options you literally just hold "1" until your intelligence is at max.
Aim can be improved by swimming laps at the gym.
As a Tech Specialist you should invest more in your shields since you get bonuses to shields. Chitin armor will only come into play when your shield is down. Wear something with evasion, shield boosts, and/or shield defense instead.
I don't know whether your perks are for melee or ranged but those are some pretty bad weapon choices for your level. Tech Specialists get a bonus to energy weapons, so use them. If you're only at Tarkus, grab the Nova Rifle from Anno or Anno's Quest. Buy a Salamander Rifle if you're at Myrellion. If you're at Uveto, grab the Apollo Plasma Rifle. And if you're as far as Zheng Shi, grab the Tri-beam Rifle. I don't know the melee equivalents.
You should be able to rolfstomp these foes you're having trouble with. For group fights spam thermal or gravidic disruptors. Make sure to use your regen ability when your shield AND energy is low.
The Trick Bracer from Zheng Shi is an excellent melee weapon for Tech Specialists since it boosts shields and shield defense.
Intelligence is your most important stat because it's factored into almost everything Tech Specialists do:
Stun Chance weapons are also extremely useful, especially once you have Rapid Recharge. Every time you Stun the opponent, you get 2 free rounds. Stun Chance used to be a flat chance (1/4), but I think they changed it to rely on Physique or Aim (depending on weapon). It almost never happens with a low stat and happens every other round at high stat.
These days I get to 25 to recruit Ramis and otherwise wait on Augment-Weave for the double Soreness reduction.
As a Melee Specialist, my upgrade paths went:
1. Paralyzing Shock success chance (1/2 your Intelligence + a random factor vs 1/2 target's Physique). And Damage if you take Deadly Shock.
2. The amount of Shields restored by Power Surge/Deflector Regeneration & Rapid Recharge.
3. Accuracy.
4. Chance of Overcharge Stun (Intelligence vs Physique).
5. Charge Weapon bonus damage (+ Intelligence). For reference, weapons get 1/2 Physique or Aim as bonus damage by default.
6. Gravidic Disruptor/Thermal Disruptor damage.
7. Drone damage with Drone Control.

Intelligence is either the easiest or hardest to train, depending on whether you want to fuck Syri. Aim is only important if you went Ranged. Physique can technically be ignored with Melee because Charge Weapon is Just That Good. I got all the way past Shock Hopper with 3 Physique once, just to see if I could.
Feruze was hilarious. Oh no! You halved my 3 Physique! How will I ever defeat you with my pathetic +50 Electric damage/attack?
I wore Atma Armor for most of the game. But yes, Shield Bonuses are generally better. Air Tight completely shuts down certain otherwise annoying enemies, though.
Weapon Tweaks/Gun Tweaks is almost useless because it's just 20% extra base weapon damage. It does not apply to the bonus damage from Aim/Physique. However, Overcharge can only be used with an Energy Ranged weapon.
Heavy Slut Ray is also a good choice vs anything not immune to Tease. It has a Stun Chance and can be Overcharged.
As a Melee Specialist, my upgrade paths went:
Melee: Knife -> Vanae Spear -> Electrified Shock Blade -> Vamp Blade/Lightning Rod (+ FZR) -> Yappi Strap (briefly, Janeria sucks for Melee Drone Techs) -> Custom Shock Gear. Maybe Rough Leash, still undecided if it's better than Custom Shock Gear. Mostly seems like a side-grade.
Ranged: Scoped Pistol -> ZK Rifle -> FZR Fire Suppression System -> NaN Deconstructor (for Corona Lord Flamer, she can go through Shields!)
Armor: Dress Clothes -> Atma Armor -> Black Void Plate -> Augment-Weave
Accessory: Tam-Wolf -> Tam-Wolf 2.0
Implant: Comat Tail. Gives a 4th free attack that automatically hits anything that isn't Flying. If you're not a Drone Tech, or don't want a tail, Cybernetic Subprocessor is a no-brainer.

I think it's better for Ranged. I prefer Custom Shock Gear for Melee. Stun Chance gives 40 extra Shields every time it goes off, which seems like every other round with high Physique. Honestly, I find I don't need to use Charge Weapon or Deflector Regeneration very much anymore.

Unfortunately it can't be currently obtained in JS port (at least if playing normally with no cheats). The Great Majin doesn't appear outside of initial encounter, whether due to a bug, an oversight or wasn't yet ported.
I just went through the void juggernaut fight at level 8 as a tech specialist.
Was using:
Apollo Plasma Rifle (Randomly sold from Kattom in Uveto for 60k credits)
Daedalus Threads (Sold in Myrellion)
Hammer Shield (But the shield you're using is a direct upgrade from mine)
I did quite a bit of training beforehand and had 40 physique, reflexes, aim, and intelligence. 41 willpower (due to a bonus I chose at character creation) which I think helps with stun recovery.
Did it first try, but I would say don't bother using the disruptor for this fight, his drones are weak anyways. Use paralyzing shock on the juggernaught so he can't stun you and blast him down while he's paralyzed.

Not a Character Creation thing. Resolve gives half it's total value to max Willpower. Sexiness does the same for Libido.
your stats are simply spread too far apart to be powerful in anything
For what little it's worth my lvl.8 character had stats at
* Physique: 24
* Reflexes: 31
* Aim: 26
* Intelligence: 30
* Willpower: 20
* Libido: 10
and low end equipment (autoshotgun + lighting rod) when she beat that encounter and the mission on the whole without any real issues. Don't fall into trap of thinking you must min-max or be "powerful in anything" to get through the game without much sweat. Although yes, some extra points in primary stat of your class do tend to make things easier.

Smuggler. The class has huge synergy between Flash Grenade + Sneak Attack + Second Attack (or Aimed Shot + Second Shot), and particularly combined with stun chance on Lighting Rod or ranged weapon equivalent it allows to take out regular enemies or even bosses fast, even without maxing out relevant stats. Flash Grenade has useful side-effect of making it harder for the enemies to hit you, so that helps survivability especially when combined with natural high avoidance due to reflexes being class primary stat.
Although for the juggernaut boss if i remember right i've simply equipped Allure Brand Pheromonal Body Spray and went to town with Tease attacks, and the poor thing practically melted (even with very low libido due to bug the JS port had at that time)

Flash Grenade is especially nice because it effectively counts you has having 12 more Aim than you actually do.
Stun Chance is extremely good for Smugglers, yes. My Ranged Smuggler is still switching between the Shock Bow, Royal Shard Bow and Heavy Slut Ray.
I didn't put much into Reflexes, myself. +50% Item Evasion bonus gets some pretty silly numbers later. I had 30% passive Evasion at that point, but Stealth Field Generator makes it basically impossible to get hit by anything that doesn't outright ignore Evasion, especially now that it breaks the 90% cap. If you prioritize it, it's actually possible to just barely reach 90% passive on Dhaal, but I currently have between 69% and 78% depending on the weapon I'm using.
Fun fact: It's possible to Tease while almost invisible.

You know, I've never tried playing as anything other than Tech Specialist. Once I got a handle of some of the game, I just ground out stats far beyond the level necessary for the current location. Grind out extra stats at the Ten Ton Gym, abuse the Syri IQ mechanic, and take shield boosters over the attack drone, and buff shields. My evasion is also pretty high I think? Stats says it's 3% but it feels a lot higher than that so maybe there's something I'm missing.
That being said, one of the biggest things I noticed that affected my games would be that I would hoard credits and not buy new equipment and then suddenly upgrading weapons would make fights that were kind of tough suddenly a cakewalk. I think it's just a matter of being prepared and making sure you're not taking the wrong equipment into battle. And also having proper stats, but that's a given
