Experience

  1. Marinor NTNU

    Trondheim, Norway
    Sep 2026 - Present

    Autonomy Engineer

    Voluntary
    Marinor is an interdisciplinary student team building the autonomous surface vessel Proteus, first for Njord 2027 and later RoboBoat, and a member of the Ocean Autonomy Cluster. We are five on the autonomy team. I'm responsible for transit: route planning over longer distances, which feeds the vessel's LOS guidance. ROS 2 in C++ and Python, Docker and RViz.

Lone Wolf 2026: operator panel and vehicle link (KONGSBERG)

Lone Wolf 2026: operator panel and vehicle link (KONGSBERG)

Summer internship at KONGSBERG, June to August 2026, in a team of eight students. I was one of two on the ICS team and had the main responsibility for the backend on both sides of the link: a ROS 2 node in C++ on the vehicle with a narrow API over ZeroMQ, and the operator panel in C++/Qt 6. Peer-to-peer over Tailscale, video as H.264 through GStreamer, and an emergency stop enforced on the vehicle. Demonstrated to management from a laptop on 5G.

BSc Thesis: Lone Wolf simulation and synthetic test environment

BSc Thesis: Lone Wolf simulation and synthetic test environment

Bachelor's thesis, spring 2026, in a group of four, grade A: a test environment in NVIDIA Isaac Sim for Lone Wolf with the same ROS 2 interfaces as the physical robot, so scenarios can be run again without access to the vehicle. My part was the Isaac Sim extension in Python that loads the robot model, sets up the sensors and lets the user pick a scenario. Validated against measurements on the robot and used by the 2026 summer team.

About

I'm a robotics and autonomy engineer (B.Sc.) now doing an M.Sc. in Cybernetics and Robotics at NTNU, specialising in robots and vehicle control. I write software for autonomous vehicles in C++ and ROS 2, from sensors and communication on board to the operator panel. In summer 2026 I worked on KONGSBERG's Lone Wolf project, where I built the operator panel and the link between panel and vehicle. My bachelor's thesis was a test environment for the same vehicle in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, which the summer team used.

I now work on route planning and guidance for Marinor NTNU's autonomous surface vessel Proteus. I work agile and test-driven with Git, code review and CI, and what I enjoy most is getting the whole system to run on real hardware. At home I run a homelab and a smart home that keep growing new features, and I like tinkering with 3D printing and ESP microcontrollers.

Highlights

  • M.Sc. in Cybernetics and Robotics, NTNU, 2026-2028
  • Summer intern at KONGSBERG 2026: the Lone Wolf operator panel
  • Bachelor's thesis with KONGSBERG, grade A.
  • Autonomy Engineer at Marinor NTNU, the vessel Proteus
