Spoke etc)
Industrial Connectivity & OT
o Deep knowledge of OPC UA, MQTT (Sparkplug B), Modbus, Ethernet/IP.
o Practical experience integrating Kepware and connecting to multiple PLC families.
o Understanding of SCADA/MES concepts, data lifecycles, and shop-floor realities.
Cloud & Enterprise Integration
o Experience integrating with Azure (e.g., IoT Hub, Event Hubs, Functions, Storage) or similar cloud
platforms.
o Familiarity with data pipelines and historian/BI integrations.
Security & Compliance
o Working knowledge of ISA-95 and IEC 62443 principles, certificate management, network segmen
tation, and secure tunneling.
