"Being able to develop a critical system from A to Z is incredibly rewarding
Celine Haugan Lia is a systems engineer at Avinor. On a daily basis, she works at the Oslo control center in Røyken, but with the development of tower systems as a field of work, there are many trips to Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL). She is part of the team that is developing the future system for the control tower at OSL.
"Being able to help create such a large and critical system from A to Z is clearly the main reason why I applied for the job. Here I get to work with so many talented people, and the system is developed together with the end users. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the needs to be met.
The new system will support air traffic controllers in their work to make critical decisions for all aircraft that are to land and take off at the airport. In addition, Celine is involved in developing the future system for Norwegian airspace, which is a collaboration with several other European countries. Testing software is an important part of the job, and much of the testing takes place in simulators.
Does the interface work optimally on the air traffic controllers' radar screens, when a fictitious plane from Gardermoen is to land in Stavanger? Is the message flow as it should?
"These are systems that must be operational 24/7, and that must work. Of course, it is motivating to work with it.
