- Good understanding of motherboard-side solutions and external components:
- Audio: I²S/SSP/PCM, codec/DAC/amp, SPK topology and acoustic integration, noise isolation.
- Display: eDP/DisplayPort/MIPI-DSI; panel timing, backlight, basic SI.
- Sensor: I²C/SPI interfaces; accelerometer, proximity, ambient light, hall, fingerprint, touchpad, TSP (touch sensor panel).
- Storage: NVMe (PCIe) SSD, storage controller, power and thermal.
- Memory: DDR5/LPDDR5, memory PHY/controller, SPD, training, basic SI/PI.
