He was also remembered as being hired as a line engineer at Atari early on in his career who by all accounts would have been fired almost immediately if it hadn't been for Wozniak doing a lot of his work for him.
Entrepreneur most definitely, engineer... not so much.
But even then, probably still a better engineer than many people who are smugly declaring that he wasn't a good engineer.
After all, he was hired by Atari, and got parts delivered to him personally by Bill Hewlett and an internship at HP as he was a young electronics enthusiast.
Of course if he's being compared to Wozniak, well different league.
