Summary
Marcus Ulmefors is a Director of Software Engineering with 11 years of cross-disciplinary experience blending mechanical engineering, data science, and battery technology to deliver production-grade Data & AI platforms for renewable energy and Li‑ion battery applications. He has built and scaled multiple data and ML teams—defining operating models, hiring engineering managers, and authoring career ladders—while driving platform build vs buy decisions at companies like Northvolt and now Lyten. His background spans hands-on battery modeling, field telemetry analysis for off‑grid solar in East Africa, and contributions to peer-reviewed and industrial R&D that supported a major European battery innovation program. Marcus combines technical depth (MEng from Imperial College, nanodegree in self‑driving) with product and project leadership across hardware-software domains, from factory digital blueprints to edge IoT systems. Known for public-facing education on battery degradation and ML, he also brings an unusual mix of international fieldwork, academic collaboration, and a commitment to effective altruism and giving.
