Course Leader and Lecturer:
Mårten Vrånes, Founder and COO, Consensic, Inc.
Mr. Mårten Vrånes has a significant track record as an Engineer, Operations Manager and Founder. His career in the MEMS industry began in Norway, at SensoNor, ASA, where he was instrumental in new product introduction and ramp-up of automotive sensors (specifically TPMS) into high-volume manufacturing. Tasks ranged from product characterization, custom test system development and production yield improvement. As the Director of Test Operations and Product Engineering at the prestigious Bay Area start-up, LV sensors, Inc., Mr. Vrånes was responsible for sourcing the entire multi-million dollar final test production park and for setting up the necessary infrastructure designed to test more than 10 million sensors per year. In 2009, he founded Consensic, Inc. and received Series A funding for the development of a micro-barometer. At Consensic, Mr. Vrånes has personally designed and developed the entire test system platform - ranging from MEMS die characterization to low-volume production test systems.
Mr. Vrånes holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (EE) from both Agder University, Norway and Fachhochschule Kiel, Germany, a Master’s Degree in Computer Integrated Manufacture (CIM) from Swinburne University of Technology, Australia and an MBA from the University of Queensland, Australia. He resides in Marin County, California with his wife and three young children.
