In fact, one of the jobs of an engineer is to make sure that other engineers who don't work in his or her area do not need to understand that area deeply, yet build something reliable with it. They need just the summary that he or she writes up into the datasheet for the part. Ensure these conditions are met for safe/reliable operation, give it these inputs, expect these outputs, these timings, this energy consumption, this heat generation, frequency response, tensile strength, whatever.
