"it was all data/signal flow and intercoupled and layered differential equations from sensors to actuators anyways."

And the you need a pure CS dude like me to turn that into readable, maintainable, efficient code.

(I work with these guys who just see the differential equations... Leave them a few years on their own and they produce a huge pile of code and then wonder why none of the students use it :-)

(it's just my own experience, and although I'm a bit cynical here, I like that job and these guys a lot, we learn a lot from each other)
