In addition, useful skills include:
- Experience with embedded display technologies (e.g. TFT, LCD)
- Familiarity with touch interfaces (capacitive/resistive)
- Experience with UI frameworks for embedded systems and optimizing UI/UX for embedded systems with limited resources
- Experience with system modeling, simulation, and control engineering is considered a significant advantage
- Driver development for display controllers and touch sensors
