Software engineers write code and debug their code. Their platform may be a PC, Apple, Android, Linux, or another standard platform. Electrical engineers design circuits, run simulations, create printed circuit boards, stuff the boards, and then run confidence tests. They will also typically need to debug their designs.
If the software issues and the hardware issues ...
