Aaron Watkins is a Senior Software Engineer based in Jacksonville, Florida, with nine years of experience bridging electrical engineering fundamentals and software systems. After earning a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of North Florida, he spent eight years as a signal and systems engineer before transitioning into software and systems engineering roles at Wabtec, where he now serves as a senior engineer. His background in signaling and systems gives him a strong grounding in safety-critical, embedded, and real-time domains, enabling pragmatic design of reliable, maintainable systems. He is comfortable working across hardware-adjacent software stacks and translating complex engineering requirements into production-ready code. Colleagues rely on him for steady technical delivery and for connecting low-level engineering constraints to higher-level software architecture decisions.
