But type safety is really just defining an explicit interface, and enforcing that both sides maintain that interface. And it allows you to isolate components in functions or classes, because you don't need to know how the implementation works, just the types of the inputs and outputs, and what the function is supposed to do (sans bugs).
I don't know a lot about electrical engineering, but it would surprise me if they don't have tools to make sure you don't do something like send a 120V AC current into a component that expects 5V DC.
