Don't think of it as a materials simulation engineer being recruited and trained on how to write complex malware.

Rather this was developed by a team of 6-8 people. Maybe two or three of them working on the implant, another engineer handling the exploits and propagation, and yet another building the LP and communications channels. They are supported by a scientist with deep knowledge of the process they are messing around with (say developing nuclear weapons), and a mathematician that knows how to introduce subtle and undetectable errors.

Yeah I think this makes more sense. After all they need some domain knowledge but the key is to write and deliver that payload.
