Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTorbjørn Ness is a Senior GPU Design Engineer with 11 years of cross-domain experience spanning high-level web applications, back-end services, embedded firmware, digital hardware and ASIC design. He has shaped architecture and digital IP for ultra-low-power RISC-V SoCs at Nordic Semiconductor and contributed to CPU cores used in the nRF54 series, and now works on GPU design at Arm. Comfortable moving between software and silicon, he translates customer use cases into pragmatic architectures while also implementing low-level RTL and firmware. An advocate for open-source hardware and RISC-V, he brings entrepreneurial grit from founding a tech company and a hands-on mindset that surfaces unexpected optimizations across the stack. Based in Trondheim, he pairs an NTNU MSc in Electronics with a continual appetite for learning new domains.
