• Familiarity with functional safety (IEC 61508), hazardous location approvals, and/or cybersecurity (IEC 62443 and EU CRA)
• Familiarity with Bluetooth ®, Ethernet, cellular, and/or LoRaWAN
• Familiarity with industrial protocols (HART, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc.)
• Master’s Degree and/or PMP certification
