From Interns to Innovators: Celebrating a Summer of Growth and Achievement!

This summer, we had the privilege of welcoming a group of talented interns who have left an indelible mark on our team and our projects.

Laufey Friðriksdóttir, Einar Ágúst Jónsson, María Rós Kaldalóns, and Egill Magnússon joined us with a shared passion for designing and building innovative Air Traffic Management (ATM) software solutions.

Laufey, a recent graduate from the Computer Science program at Reykjavik University, has seamlessly transitioned into a full-time role within our Customer Success department. Her journey from intern to a valued full-time team member is a testament to her skills and the positive impact she has made at Tern Systems.

Einar, María Rós, and Egill, while continuing their studies, will also remain an integral part of our team on a part-time basis and we are thrilled to support them as they complete their education.

Today, we look back with satisfaction at the milestones achieved and the growth we've witnessed. Not only have our interns developed professionally, but they have also enriched our company culture with their unique perspectives and enthusiasm.

To Laufey, Einar, María Rós, and Egill - thank you for your incredible contribution this summer. You have each played a crucial role in our success, and we are excited to continue this journey with you.

As we move forward, we remain committed to fostering a nurturing environment where talent can thrive, and innovative solutions can be born. Here's to the bright future ahead, both for our interns and for Tern Systems.

Meet the POLARIS ICE team

Una Árna

Tern Systems and Isavia ANS have been collaborating closely for almost 30 years now, developing ATM systems. The newest and most ambitious product being developed is the POLARIS ATM system. The Polaris ICE team is made up of members from both companies and is responsible for developing the feature set that will enable Isavia ANS to manage air traffic over the North Atlantic ocean in the future.

It is time to introduce the second team member, Una Árnadóttir.

When asked about her role within the Polaris ICE team, Una answers: "My role in the Polaris team is mostly focused on the flight data display and other data related subjects. We are currently working on updating the flight data display and redesigning the FDP. My previous role as a flight data specailist provided me with general knowledge of flight related data, FPL‘s AIS, FDP, Mil, etc. I also keep my coworkers on edge.“

We asked Una about his professional experience and she replied: “ I have been with Isavia ANS since 2018, beginning my career as a flight data specialist in the Reykjavik Area Control Center. Since then I have had different hats, trained new students,  participated in implementation projects and contributed to various improvement initiatives for our companies benefit.

I studied anthropology part time at the University of Iceland and am now delving into studies that better reflect my interest for the aviation industry. The studies revolve around management within the aviation sector, ethical behaviour, cultural awareness, and the ability to adapt in a fast-changing global environment.“

“Outside of work, I primarily spend time with my family, especially my young daughter. I enjoy traveling and exploring the world, locally and globally. In my free moments, I enjoy knitting as a creative and relaxing escape.”
