You must be communicative, out-front, cordial, persuasive and confident.

"Be a people person, not just a desk jockey."
Of course I could say to be a hard worker and hone your engineering skills, but that goes without saying. I think it's just as important to hone interpersonal skills so you will be able to network and learn from others within your own and other organizations you might interact with.
If you are brilliant and nobody else knows it, then you are not doing yourself any favors.
