53. • Skill Set : 1. Firmware engineer-
– low level programming C/C++ Embedded C.
– Digital signal processing (DSP).
– Understanding of firmware security.
– Operating systems RTOS, Linux, bare metal, eCos.
– Wireless technology such as BLE, NFC, RFID, Zigbee,
Zwave.
– On chip communication protocols such as I2C, SPI and
UART.
– Understanding of the processor architecture and how
it utilizes memory.
– Then you have basic testing and debugging.

54. • Skill Set : 2. Hardware Engineer-
– Power management,
– SoC (System on a Chip)
– PCB board design, prototyping, and debugging.
– Sensor technology and integration.
– Also wireless technology LTE, GPS, BLE, NFC, RFID,
Zigbee, Zwave…
– CE certification and regulation

55. • Skill Set : 3. Network Engineer-
– Understanding of routing protocols and data transfer
protocols WPA, BLE, LTE, 3G, 4G, TCP/IP.
– IoT specific-
• MQTT(Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)
• CoAP(Constrained Application Protocol)
– Network monitoring, firewalls, switching and routing
protocols.
– Ethernet IPv4 and IPv6. MPLS, VRF, IPSEC
VPNs DHCP.

56. • Skill Set : 4. Security Engineer-
– Security is BIG in the IoT space. You need to make
sure the whole end to end IoT solution is secure. This
includes data, mobile, network, application, hardware
and system.
– Device discovery, data tokenization and authorization
such as Oauth.
– DHCP, vulnerabilities in SoC (System on a Chip)
– Expert understanding in Cryptography, Data
encryption and firewalls.
– Understanding of the trade-offs of security,
performance and cost.

57. • Skill Set : 5. Data Analyst-
– With the amount of data being generated by sensors
it is important to be able to analyze and make sense
of real time data.
– Additionally most IoT solutions learn the user as time
goes on so machine learning and algorithm
development is very important.
– Skills include Hadoop, R, Matlab, Python, statistical
analysis, data cleaning, machine learning and
experience working with sensor data.

58. • Skill Set : 6. Software Developers-
– Web services such as Rest API development.
– Experience working with MQTT and CoAP.
– Ability to work with real-time data and multithreading.
Typical full stack development skill set.
– Analytics and custom dashboard creation.
– User/Device management and authentication.
– Workflow and biz processes automation.
– Main thing in IoT is to remove the need of human
involvement in automated processes.
– Many enterprises are using off the shelf solutions to
implement their IoT projects. They need managers who
have experience working on AWS(Amazon's Telemetry),
Xively, Axeda, and Azure Event Hub.

59. • Skill Set : 7. Product managers-
– Strong domain experience (home automation, wearable,
retail, telemedicine etc).
– Understand how the IoT stack being used in the
company and what are the competitors doing.
– The key thing is to understand and orchestrate all the
moving parts of an IoT solution.
– Emphasis on intuitive user experience and customer
usage habits.
– Supplier and cost management.
– Product and regulatory compliance for electronics and
connected devices.

60. • Skill Set : 8. Mobile developer-
– Mobile devices are one of the main gateways in the
IoT stack.
– It sometimes is even the only controller for some
devices so you want to have great UI experience.
– Skills are similar to any other mobile developer that
develops for iOS and Andriod.
– IoT specifics include location based applications or
integration with Bluetooth connected devices.

61. • Skill Set : 9. Wild card engineers-
– Engineers with specific domain expertise that the
company is looking for. For example, some quantified
self companies are looking for biomechanical
engineers and people with wearable experience.
– Additionally, home automation companies are
looking for people with HVAC and mechanical
engineering experience.
– Lastly, vehicle automation and fleet management is
also becoming big which require a whole set of new
skills such as telemetry.

62. • Execution Plan
Here's the typical process (in order of execution) to get a
hardware product from idea to market:
1. Idea & Documentation
2. Proof Of Concept (POC)
3. Specification and Documentation
4. Firmware Design
5. Software Flowchart & Documentation
6. Testing
a. Engineering Verification Test (EVT)
b. Design Verification Test (DVT)
c. Pilot Verification Test (PVT)
7. Prototype with Program
8. Marketing Strategy
9. Financial Planning
10. System Testing
11. Mass production
