Two of the departments are located in Trondheim, the others in Oslo. Optical Measurement Systems and Data Analysis , Oslo, carries out work where identifying and characterising objects is central. Actual projects include improving systems for recognising plants and recycled material, automatic counting of live animals and better detection of buried land mines. Miniaturised finger print identification sensors and electronics for oil wells are some examples of recent work. The department's expertise includes analogue and mixed signal ASIC design, integration of microelectronics modules, sensor packaging and thermal analysis and design.
Competence is required in physical electronics, semiconductor process technology and electronics.
Work includes new sensor principles, electronics for very high temperatures and packaging of measurement systems in demanding environments. This includes project management and the identification of technology needs and matching solutions through collaborative projects. Additional strength is built on optical analysis, modelling and design. Our work is to a large degree carried out in close cooperation with customers. The ability to communicate and work in a team is important as will the ability to combine professional skills with practical problem solving.
