About Jon Nordskog
Engineering Manager with 10+ years in hardware and IoT ecosystems. Currently leading a high-performing hardware & IoT team at ABAX AS in Norway, managing 6 engineers across embedded systems, firmware, and hardware design.
I specialize in building technical teams, establishing engineering culture, and solving the unique challenges that come with managing hardware + software integration.
Available for fractional engagement: weekends, afternoons, or flexible sprint-based work. Perfect fit for startups and scale-ups that need experienced EM guidance without the full-time commitment.
