If your interest to become an applied data engineer and do data engineering for a company, then research (PhD) might be overkill. Having a computer science background (degree, or masters, or bootcamp) is sufficient. Most of the learnings will come from being on the job and learning data engineering patterns. I would recommend two books that are great at diving deeper into this topic: Fundamentals of Data Engineering, and Designing Data Intensive Applications. If you are looking for a course that introduces you to the concepts of data engineering, check out Data Engineering Zoomcamp. Disclaimer, I teach a paid data engineering bootcamp called Data Engineer Camp for people that want to be trained by experienced practitioners.
