here is the list of skills that I gathered from this video: - kubernetes - AWS - databases - node-red - MQTT Protocol - Spark Plug B - Postgresql - SQL - influxdb - Grafana - automation using Python - Terraform
Cool interview! IoT is really interesting, but skillset required seem to be more demanding than data engineer's. As Derek said, not only data related knowledge is required but also how industrial machines works and all the networking stuff.
I've been ignoring IoT for career, being busy enough with other things, but maybe it's time to jump in. Already have a good background in electronics, software (low level, math, image processing, engineeringy type things), physics, and interactive graphics applications. From videos on IoT skills and getting into IoT, I see that I need to get up to speed on databases, AWS (only cloud service I already know a little about), data security (keep your floppy disks in a locked drawer? I'm behind the times) and networking especially the short-range technologies like bluetooth, zigbee, etc. Question: is having deep experience in physics, electronics, and scientific instrumentation and cameras a boost in getting into the field? Could I quickly become an employed IoT engineer (or related job title) getting paid while I get up to speed on the networking, cloud, etc.?
I would think the IT stuff you need to catch up on wouldn't be too hard for you to get into given your background. I'd be interested in hearing if you got into IoT
