Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJostein Løwer is a Robotics Engineer and PhD candidate in Engineering Cybernetics at NTNU, currently developing the VilPower medical exoskeleton at Vilje Bionics with a focus on electronics, embedded software, control systems, and human-robot interaction. With nine years of experience in robot prototyping and prosthesis technology, he combines academic rigor with practical product development to bring assistive hardware from concept to clinic-ready prototypes. His background includes firmware work on Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52 series and hands-on systems integration across sensors, actuators, and control loops. Beyond robotics, Jostein applies his technical creativity as a lighting designer for live productions, a discipline that sharpens his systems thinking and real-time troubleshooting. Based in Oslo, he excels at bridging multidisciplinary teams—engineering, clinical, and user-centered design—to deliver tangible improvements in mobility. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic engineer who pairs deep cybernetics knowledge with a maker’s drive to iterate rapidly.
