Education and Experience:

B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics, or other similar technical subject is required.

Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with regard to technical and legal terminology, both verbally and in writing, in both Japanese and English languages.
