Main activities and responsibilities

SW Configuration & SW Quality Assurance 

 I started this activity in 1992 as a part time task while I was still employed in Configuration Controll &

 Quality  Assurance Engineer activities.

 Assistant to the configuration manager for all the activities of SICRAL 1 Program

 I provide also a collaboration at the member of an internal committee for the realization of the common

 S/W Engineering and Quality Assurance to be applied within the Companies composing this industrial

 group. The activity resulted in the publication of the "S/W Engineering and Quality Handbook" which

 was a guide suitable for the use in S/W Projects developed under different standards like: DoD STD, ESA, IEEE, etc.

 My main tasks was: management of human resources within the S/W PA section; planning, organization

 of activities and departmental budgeting. Preparation, discussion and formal issuance of quality

 procedures and plans. Liaison with the Customer. Monitoring of subcontractors, including the execution

 of dedicated Quality Audits and inspections at their sites. Co-ordinating the activities with the

 S/W Product Assurance departments of other Company sites.

 The main tasks assigned to the S/W Product Assurance Department are: internal checking the

 produced documentation by applying a predefined inspection program, coordinating the testing activity

 also using automatic tools for the requirements tracing, evaluating methodologies and related tools

 to be adopted for the company S/W Factory, controlling the activities performed by the subcontractors.

 The main projects I have been involved are: Columbus, Envisat, Nahuel, Sicral S/W Ground

 Product Assurance system level, & Configuration control

 All the projects I have been working on are developed in an international environment and this very

 often involves travelling within Italy and abroad (mainly Europe and USA). I had therefore

 acquired experience in performing manufacturing control on electronic flight hardware & software

 by performing inspections aimed at verifying compliance with the applicable quality requirements.

 Test control & Configuration and witnessing was also one of my tasks.
