Suggested sequence

  1. Review 20–30 AI Security Engineer vacancies and record actual tasks, mandatory requirements and tools.
  2. Define the bridge from Spetsialist po sistemam radiosvyazi, mobilnoy svyazi i teleradioveshchaniya: systems thinking and physical-constraint awareness. Prepare two examples where this experience produced a measurable result.
  3. Learn AI-system evaluation and model-behavior monitoring to the level of completing an independent practical task—not merely finishing a course.
  4. Create a safe lab case with a threat model, detection, response and report without touching third-party systems.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for AI Security Engineer, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
Timeline and pay are indicative. They depend on starting skills, location, experience, weekly study time and employer requirements.
