Erlend Harbitz is a Senior Software Engineer based in Oslo with a decade of experience building simulation and autonomy software, currently shaping systems at AutoStore™. Trained in marine cybernetics (M.Sc., NTNU) with control systems exposure at MIT, he blends robotics, sensor fusion and estimation expertise with pragmatic Python engineering from applied research at SINTEF Digital. His career moves—from vehicle autonomy on Duckietown to industrial simulations and now production software at AutoStore—show a rare ability to translate academic algorithms into scalable, warehouse-grade systems. Colleagues rely on him for robust simulation tooling and measurement-driven tracking solutions, and he’s comfortable navigating both research teams and product delivery. Notably, his background in marine technology gives him a distinctive perspective on systems-level control and reliability uncommon in traditional software engineering roles.
