Aerospace Engineer with several years of experience in the design, analysis, and delivery of complex engineering systems. Alongside my technical expertise, I have succesfully led teams and worked directly with customers, gaining solid experience in project coordination and technical management. Some of my key strengths: -Proven ability to manage technical teams, align priorities, and ensure on-time, high-quality results. -Strong analytical background with hands-on experience in system design, validation, and integration. -Cross-disciplinary mindset, applying aerospace expertise to diverse engineering challenges. -Open and friendly attitude: all advices are listened, help and opportunities to become a better professional may come in many forms and from anybody. I am passionate about both the technical and organizational aspects of engineering, and I enjoy working at the "intersection" of problem-solving, teamwork, and project delivery. With a background that bridges engineering and team leadership, I am well prepared for roles that combine technical responsibility with project and people management.
Lead system engineer for the development of the Integrated Power Distribution Unit Upper Stages (IPDU US), within the ESA’s VECEP program framework (Vega-C's AVUM/Z09 stages).
As a visitor System Engineer, my role has been to define the Technical Requirements for the M10 (VUS) stage's TVC (Thrust Vector Control) in the framework of the Vega-E project development at AVIO s.p.a premises. This was achieved by providing SABCA's TVC design expertise in-situ, and through a feasibility, performance and cost analysis leading to the emission of the applicable TVC's technical specification (TS/CF) for the first PDR milestone. Achieved objectives: - Definition of the system's layout, including kinematic and dynamic analyses. - Definition of the suitable Actuation System, ECU, and High-Power architecture. - Definition of the engineering constraints and performance requirements applicable to the proposed TVC (thermal, mechanical and dynamic). - Definition of safety constraints liked to the stage's cryogenic environment.
• Active role in supporting the recruitment process and conducting technical interviews (materials and test engineering) • Core member of the Events team, in charge of scheduling and planning team-building activities for the Materials and Test engineering Team • Member of the IC3D team, in charge of the design and development of a continuous - CF (UD) 3D printer
CVSA2/Kinetic Intelligent Rollbarless suspension system. Ride Performance Division, METC R&D center. The team of which I'm part of is responsible for the development of the Kinetic™ semi-active shock suspension system for high performance vehicles. Main activities: • Core hydraulic and electromechanic systems sizing and modelization/simulation (steady state and dynamic characterization). • Sensitivity analysis on the vehicle’s dynamic response to hardware changes in the system and subsequent selection of the appropriate configuration (X0 and MULE1 stages). • RLD (Road Load Data) collection and post-pocessing (Matlab/Simulink/AmeSim) . • Definition of tests requirements for core hydraulic subsystems and follow up activities. • Definition of ridework test activities requirements (VDA, Limit Handling) and in-situ support (IDIADA, Papenburg ATP, Nurburgring Nordschleife, Lommel PG, MIRA). • Control algorithm validation and implementation (Simulink/ControlDesk) on proto ECUs (µAB II , RapidPro). • Prototype vehicle building and commissioning (final approval responsibility for hydraulics, electronics and software). • Performance optimization at system and subsystem levels. • Follow up of the vehicles performance until VP phase. • Key POC on Kinetic system related queries (key OEM interface with DRiV)
