Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrank Severinsen is a senior electrical and instrumentation engineer with nine years of focused experience in oil & energy and a background in mechatronics, robotics, and automation from the University of Agder. He has led product delivery and electro-instrumentation teams for complex mud control systems at Schlumberger/Cameron and now drives electrical engineering at Nel Hydrogen, blending field-ready installations with R&D and new technology deployment. Skilled in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, control systems design and electrical wiring, he also brings hands-on embedded firmware and hardware-integration experience from open-source projects—adding driver support and DAC monitoring to the widely used VESC motor control firmware and generating precise KiCad footprints via Python. Known for translating client requirements into robust documentation, test procedures and manufacturable designs, he excels at bridging hands-on electrical work with firmware-level hardware support. Based in Søgne, Norway, he combines practical electrician roots with systems-level engineering for energy and industrial applications.
