Education and Experience
The mastering engineer is responsible for a final edit of a product and preparation for manufacturing copies. An audio mastering engineer (especially in music) should have complete knowledge of audio engineering, and may hold an audio or acoustic engineering degree. Most audio engineers master music or speech audio material. The best mastering engineers might possess arrangement and record production skills, allowing them to 'trouble-shoot' mix issues and improve the final sound. Generally, good mastering skills are based on experience which can be the result of many years of practice.

“My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed.”
