Engaged in the Galileo Accreditation activities as part of System Support Work Package for ESA. Currently focuses on the System design contribution to security risk analysis and follow-up of segments (space and ground) for accreditation activities. The activities involve, in particular: - performing the necessary system, segments and element level design analysis concerning security and provision of inputs to security risk analysis; - contributing to the definition of security measures to be implemented at technical level within segments; - interacting with segment accreditation teams; - analyses of the security impact of system/segments design deviations and manufacturing non-conformances for accreditation aspects; - analyses and follow-up of segment vulnerabilities raised as part of testing campaign results; - reporting of analyses and review results to the customer
From 2006 until 2011, engaged in the Galileo System ground-to-space compatibility verification/testing activities, in particular in relation to: - definition of End-to-End verification methodology for system interface requirements, test campaign definition and relevant planning; - coordination of engineering system team for tasks relating to the system analysis/verification; - supervision and coordination of engineering activities performed by subcontractors; - specification and follow-up of tools for system verification. - analysis of Galileo segments design and review of the relevant documentation; - evaluation of the Galileo segments testing approach and review of the relevant AIV documentation (including the classified one);
From 1997 until 2006 engaged in the design department, gaining significant experience in spacecraft system engineering and system AIV/AIT. Development of the ICS (AOC integrated control platform sub-system) for low earth orbit satellites, with a particular regard to verification and testing of the on-board processor and the relevant avionic sensors/actuators (GPS receiver, star-tracker, sun-sensor, magnetometer, magneto-torque, reaction wheels, thruster). Performance analysis by means of mathematical simulation tools (spacecraft COSMO and Radarsat-2 project). Definition of telemetry and telecommand engineering data-base according to ESA standards (for the spacecraft projects COSMO, Radarsat-2 and SICRAL). Testing and verification of the AOCS subsystem for SICRAL geostationary military satellite.
