One of Jobs' first jobs was a board tech at Atari. He must have had some circuit-level skills to stay employed, even if he could only follow pre-made designs and the troubleshooting tactics of those around him. He could probably solder components on an already-designed board like any of us could if we put our mind to it. It seems correct that Jobs didn't have the skills to design a large circuit board from scratch then pore over IC datasheets to try and minimise the amount of components used, coming up with some beautiful triumph of electrical engineering. That was all Woz. (I'm not any sort of Jobs fan or Apple zealot, I just like tech history and truth)
