What this 2 x 4:1 mux/demux does on the board
The QS3253QG8 is a Renesas multiplexer/demultiplexer with two independent 4:1 circuits — each selects one of four inputs to a common output, or routes a single input to one of four outputs depending on direction.
Package and rework reality
Pin 1 is marked by a chamfer on the top-left corner; the orientation mark is clear enough that you won't flip it during hand assembly.
