Thriving in deep water: Building a submerged embedded system from scratch with no experience
Two graduate engineers with limited embedded development experience built firmware that survives months unsupervised in the sea.
A talk about the lessons learned while building an embedded system at a pre-seed startup, with limited senior oversight and learning on the job. We discuss how we made a reliable embedded system with no prior industry experience, the factors that have enabled us to arrive at a working pilot deployment, and the modern tools that we apply to iterate quickly.
Hans-Marius Øverås
I am Technical Lead for Embedded Systems and Data Platform at Ocean Access, a Trondheim-based startup building autonomous profiling buoys. I work across firmware, hardware, and on our data platform, often in the same week. I am passionate about how small teams can ship reliable systems with limited resources.
