Familiar with dynamic tools used for monitoring malware behavior. Experience with tools like kernel and process debuggers, process explorer, Wireshark.
Familiarity with automated analysis systems (e.g. Cuckoo Sandbox) and open-source intelligence resources (e.g. VirusTotal) for initial triage and quick identification of well-known malware. 
Ability to write detailed technical reports on analysis findings and to present reports to stakeholders. Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK framework, TTPs, IOCs, and CVEs to provide standard nomenclature.

Malware sandbox analysis and forensics
Ability to construct analysis sandboxes and to simulate necessary infrastructure to enable malware samples to execute (such as simulating Internet connectivity and DNS resolution).
Ability to perform forensic analysis of sandbox environment to detect changes made by the malware sample during dynamic analysis. This includes detecting new, deleted, or modified files, changes to system settings, configurations, or registry entries, creation of new user accounts, open network ports, etc.
Ability to use hex editors to modify malware samples in order to bypass anti-reversing logic. This includes logic that detects attached debuggers, virtual environments, excessive delays in process execution, etc.
Ability to capture network and signals transmissions and to analyze the content of those transmissions. To include wired and wireless transmissions (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, RF, etc.).
Hardware reverse engineering.
Ability to identify components and pathways attached to printed circuit boards (data and power).
Ability to identify and map “pin-out” configurations of chips.
Ability to connect to and monitor signals in and out of chips and convert those into binary data, ability to dump firmware images from hardware devices.
Ability to identify hardware analysis requirements and tooling needs for hardware reversing.
Ability to identify hardware anti-tamper mechanisms to prevent bricking or destruction of the device.
