The Interview Initial Round: Discuss on skills, aspirations, and fitment Homework: Give a problem to work on design; give a week time for preparation Technical Round: Focus on • What was his approach, how did he arrive at the solution? • Discuss design trade-offs • Ask for program snippets • How are security and privacy incorporated? 13 Demonstration of Skills Thought Leadership
The Role of an IoT Architect • The bridge between the technical teams (R&D and Delivery) and non-technical teams (Sales, Marketing and Operations) • Discovering the client’s pain points and challenges • Creating end-to-end IoT Solutions for solving the client’s business challenges by leveraging internal IPs and partners • Building the team across the IoT stack/ practices and domains The IoT is fundamentally changing the way we live and act, and how the businesses and the governments would function. As an IoT Architect, you stand at the forefront of this revolution, helping the client's to innovate and create solutions with connected systems, and should possess the technical skills across the full IoT stack, breadth and depth. • Ability to listen and have a dialog with all stakeholders from the business and IT teams, from factory workers, plant managers to CxO • Assuring security concerns of the client by demonstrating the security of the application from design through delivery • Providing technical know-how to the project teams, sales teams and senior management 14 * These are apart from the basic skills on implementation, resting and debugging.
