Desirable

• Basic electrical engineering background
• Understand low-level computer concepts (BIOS programming, ethernet controllers, etc.)
• Software development background
• Knowledge of deployed communications and telecommunications such as SATCOM, 3G/4G LTE, MANET/MESH, and fiber.
• TCP/IP, fiber optic, cellular (3G/4G/LTE), and serial networks
