Børre Andreas Opedal Lunde

Playing a key role in engineering projects in mechanical design, embedded systems, and software development related to oceanographic instruments and oceanography.

Responsible for designing high-pressure underwater electrical connectors, developing control systems, and creating web-based dashboards for monitoring and controlling profiling systems.

Collaborating with production and development teams to improve product quality and efficiency.

• Developed web-based dashboards for monitoring and controlling the SAIV APB5 (Automatic Profiling Buoy 5) CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) profiling system, with features including real-time data visualization, data export, remote control interfaces, and more.
• Developed embedded systems for oceanographic instruments and automatic profiling systems used in oceanography.
• Modelled and drew various casting molds for electrical cable connectors, temperature sensors, and oxygen sensors.
• Created server programs for real-time oceanographic data retrieval and an alert system for the SAIV APB5 automatic profiling system.
• Developed desktop applications for internal use, including bridging software that retrieves and parses pressure sensor data from the cloud and converts it into a format compatible with existing calibration equipment.
• Conducted 3D modelling, technical drawing, static stress analysis, and ordering of a pressure vessel designed for liquid pressure testing at up to 1,200 bar (equivalent to 12,000 m water depth).
• Coordinated and led, designed and developed high-pressure electrical underwater connectors for marine applications, including 3D-modelling, technical drawing, static stress analysis, ordering for manufacture, real-world pressure testing, and quality control.
• Led pricing strategy for products.
• Flown and produced drone footage for marketing materials at the company and in the field.

Worked on the production, maintenance, and repair of oceanographic instruments, integrating skills in electronics, embedded systems, mechanical design, and software development.

Gained experience in various fields, from soldering and assembly to printed circuit board (PCB) design, 3D modelling and technical drawing, and server maintenance.

Developed embedded and application-level software, along with primitive web interfaces.

• Produced and serviced oceanographic instruments, including soldering PCBs and cables, casting, and mechanical assembly.
• Set up and maintained IT infrastructure, including Linux servers — for example, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers — and network-attached storage (NAS) systems.
• Created a desktop application for managing an instrument production incubator via serial communication with real-time data visualization.
• Developed the PCB and circuitry for a battery controller used in the SAIV APB5 automatic profiling system and created the embedded software to operate it.
• Designed, 3D-modelled and 3D-printed enclosures and brackets for electronics.

Assisted in the maintenance, repair, and soldering of military equipment, focusing on electrical systems.

Assisted in the daily operations of the Navigation Competence Centre, including computer maintenance and support for navigation training activities.

Awarded after completing an apprenticeship and passing the national Norwegian trade examination in computer electronics with the highest grade: Bestått mykje godt.

Gained experience in computer electronics, covering digital and analogue systems, computers, networking, automation, and embedded programming.

Developed practical skills in circuit design, instrumentation, electrical safety, and more.

• Taught and partly led lessons in programming and electronics for pupils at Ytrebygda Lower Secondary School as part of a practical training program.
• Developed and presented an ultrasonic sensor-based self-driving car project, converted from a radio-controlled car, to visiting teachers from Arnhem, the Netherlands, with a demonstration in person.
