    What do you want to do?

    Normally to accomplish much here you need at least some fundamental electronics background. You can play around with breadboards but you need soldering skills to do anything "real." Not to mention working with some form of circuit boards even if just playing around using bare perfboard.

    The programming skill required seems to be pretty thin for basic stuff. These days most of it is done using script interpreters for Python dialects or code generators like Arduino.

    Patience is always a virtue.

    sorry, but that list is not correct and misleading.
    you need some electronics background as dilettante mentioned.
    not sure why autocad is mentioned but a tool for boardlayout may be handsome. you will certainly get in touch with C language for embedded development. once you add network support to your device, security topics should be considered. but "machine learning", "big data" and "gps" are just buzzwords in that context

    one more skill not yet mentioned: you need to be able to read and understand datasheets like e.g. this one: Atmel-7810-Automotive-Microcontrollers-ATmega328P_Datasheet.pdf i.e. have the understanding of computing basics like I/O, Interrupts, Memory Addressing aso

    You need a solder gun and a hammer/chisel to cut the hole.

    It sound more like a job listing for a position at the exploiter end of IoT.

    ... and a certificate from the Elders of the Internet to allow you to start cutting bits of the internet and putting them into things.

    You need to know how to use a ossoliscope and serial UART. Learn arduino,raspbeerry pi or microphyton.

    MQTT protocols are a plus if you intend to have a cloud connection.
    Process control doesn't give you good quality, it gives you consistent quality.
    Good quality comes from consistently doing the right things.

    Vague general questions have vague general answers.
    A $100 donation is required for me to help you if you PM me asking for help. Instructions for donating to one of our local charities will be provided.
