• Knowledge of communications and network concepts and principles. Knowledge of antenna and aperture characteristics for application to communications and network system designs. Knowledge of communications and network system design from architecture development to component design. Knowledge of associated technology and methods. Knowledge of secure communications. Knowledge of methods to ensure communication system survivability. Knowledge of communications and network system power system requirements. Knowledge of radio frequency compatibility. Knowledge of multi-discipline integrating issues applicable to communications and network systems, including primary characteristics such as physical and functional interfaces, communications reliability, link availability, and environmental constraints. Additional characteristics include: human factors, maintainability, testability, supportability, mechanical design, packaging, electrical, and software.
• Knowledge of and the ability to apply communications and network systems regulatory requirements (e.g., Federal Aviation Agency [FAA] regulations, Military Specifications, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Federal Communications Commission [FCC] regulations) and standards (e.g., safety, military, emissions, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering [IEEE], ARINC, Engineering International Association [EIA], International Civil Air Organization [ICAO], International Standards Organization, International Telecommunications Union [ITU], American National Standards Institute [ANSI], Society of Automotive Engineers [SAE]).
• Ability to identify susceptibility, survivability, and vulnerability (S/V) of the systems, subsystems and delivery mechanisms, based on the knowledge of characteristics and capabilities of threats (e.g. protocol exploits, identity spoofing, malware injection techniques, application layer vulnerabilities).
• Knowledge of software programming languages and databases and the ability to apply to the software domain. Programming languages encompass higher order languages, auto-coded languages and assembly languages.
• Knowledge of the practical application of network technologies. Ability to solve difficult network problems like Quality of Service, multi-level security, network protocol conversion, network management problems and application optimization.
• Ability to innovate in the area of new network systems modeling, simulation, and emulation. Knowledge of programming languages used in modeling, simulation and emulation.

Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 5 or more years'
related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD, Master+3 years'
related work experience). In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
