These are excellent, except for one, which is to avoid politics. Politics is the art of making other people want the things that you want. If you can't do that, you're not a senior engineer. Politics is critical for your success, and honestly, a large number of these sixty points fall under, IMO, politics.
tl;dr: s/"Avoid politics, but have right folks vouch for your work"/"Become an adept politician".
