CV Leif Helge Indrevær Development Engineer and System Architect |
Introduction |
I have been working in the embedded system world for around 40 years.
My best field of expertise is HW design and low level programming for
embedded MPUs/MCUs. In the past I have also done a lot of 3D modeling and
mechanical construction of enclosures. I was educated at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology
(NTH/NTNU). After military service I then worked for 18 years in the analog
mobile telephone industry before entering the fields of digital communication
(ISDN). After this I was engaged as project manager for the development of a
combined GSM/ICO handset for Nera Satcom. In 2001 I joined Flextronics and was assigned a position as
development manager. In 2007 I returned to basic electronics development as a
system architect at Kitron. From 2016, I offer my
services through my own consultant company Siv.ing
Leif Helge Indrevær
registered in the Norwegian Trade Register (www.brreg.no), organization no.
976499026. I have acquired a large experience in electronics design and low
level software development for embedded systems. I also have a broad
experience in designing analog and digital electronic systems, schematic
capture, pcb layout, simulation and integration. I
am considered as a very efficient developer, putting my pride in delivering
quality results on time. Every time. I am certified by NSM (Norwegian Security Authority) to work with
classified projects up to (and including) NATO Confidential (NC). I also hold
a Crypto Qualification Certificate grade II. |
