Join Marinor.

We build autonomous boats in Trondheim. All NTNU students can apply, and you do not need to know anything about boats.

StatusWe are not recruiting right now

We take in new members at set times. Follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn, where we post when applications open.

The Marinor NTNU team

Our groups.

Seven technical groups that build the boat, and Business that keeps the team going. Have a look, so you know which one to apply for.

  • 7 technical groups
  • +1 Business
01

Autonomy

Planning and decision making, so the boat finds a safe route on its own.

02

Control

Steering and thrust. Keeps the boat on the planned path in wind and waves.

03

GUI

The interface where we follow the boat, read its data and send it commands.

04

Perception

LiDAR, cameras and the software that lets the boat understand what is around it.

05

Sim

A digital copy of the boat and the water, so we can test the software before we go out.

06

Electrical

Power, batteries, wiring and the electronics that keep the boat running.

07

Hull

The hulls themselves: designing them, building them and testing them in the water.

08

Business

Sponsors and partners, the budget, social media and this website. A good fit if you study economics, marketing or design.

What you get out of it.

Hands-on vessel development

You build and test real autonomous marine systems, not only theory on paper.

Work across fields

Robotics, automation and marine engineering in the same team, on the same boat.

Meet the industry

We work with academic departments and partners who follow what we do.
