  • Regulatory Knowledge : Working knowledge of FCC rules and regulations.
  • Tool Proficiency : Experience using specialized and standard electronic test equipment.
  • Self-Management and Decision-Making : Must have the proven ability to work independently, make critical decisions, and take prompt action without direct supervision.
