The CE slot, and the officer can have any qualification, or none at all.

You can have three medics in the control room, running steering, nav and weapons, and it's no different than having any other set of qualifications there.

I've tested this several times: the rank and qualifications of the officers in the control room make absolutely no difference in terms of

a) diving time and time to surface
b) boat acceleration and course changes
c) repair time (repair time improves with qualification, but which qual does not matter).

No secret sauce here. If you have officers, of whatever type, in your control room, you are good to go.
