We have so many stories we would like to share - read some of them here to get to know our people.

Meet Hans-Paul - Optimes mentor

Hans-Paul Carlsen is a trained engineer and has passed the age of 70. In fact, he is retired. Nevertheless, you see Hans-Paul at Optime every single day. He has been an engineer “all his life”. Still, he is as curious in his field as when he once started. That’s what keeps him young, we think.

Meet Rubem: Optime’s Gyro Gearloose

Rubem Prandi has spent over 500 hours of his spare time building a robot. His plan was to start his own company producing robots. Rather than start his own business, the mechanical engineer had several entrepreneurial conversations with Jan Fredrik Carlsen, CEO of Optime, before choosing to join Optime. The conversations were about starting one’s own company, risks, dreams, the art of engineering and passion for electronics.

Meet Tore Løkka and Andreas Tørre Haugen: Careers at Optime Subsea ― Start by Studying

Meet Tore Løkka and Andreas Tørre Haugen, engineering students at the University of South-Eastern Norway and interns at Optime Subsea AS. Over the next three years, the pair will complete master’s degrees in Systems Engineering, with Andreas specializing in software, and Tore in mechanics. Only in their 20’s, they are wasting no time putting theory to practice, and are already eight months into their work-internship programs.

Meet Erlend: Software Engineer at Optime Subsea, a path worth taking

Erlend is now working as a full-time project engineer at Optime Subsea. He started his career at Optime Subsea during his studies at USN Kongsberg. Erlend studied Systems Engineering, specialized in Software. The young engineer has already been a key contributor to the development of the mSHPU, SCILS and ROCS products. He has lent his talent over the whole stack, from driver-development, through controls-engineering, and to the top layer of human machine interface.

Meet Stine Therese: Uses her love for training at work for Optime Subsea

Every Thursday, the girls at Optime Subsea meet for a training session after work. Project Manager and Fitness Instructor Stine Therese Timland is the initiator of the vigorous and social gathering point.
