I was typing an essay and wrote unchallenged to mean that the subject didn't feel challenged, but then I realized that unchallenged means "undisputed" and the definition that I thought isn't really attributed to the word. So, my question is, is there one adjective that means "not challenged enough?"
Thank you :)

I occasionally come across "underchallenged", but this is not a word that is in wide-spread use or recorded in standard dictionaries.

Underutilized might work, depending on the exact meaning you have in mind.

@JasonBassford, that's a good alternative, but it doesn't fit the connotation and makes the subject sound more like a tool than an employee. It's essentially supposed to say "I feel like an (adj) employee"

@njuffa, Yeah, it doesn't sound right when I try to put in "underchallenged"

You need to provide more objective criteria. For instance, I don't feel that calling myself underutilized means that I'm referring to myself more as a tool than an employee. I've heard the term used for people many times.
