Configuration, integration, and test of electronic systems for industrial measures: • Development and review of product and test specifications for electronic control units, data loggers, sensors, and actuators. • Responsible for integration tests of electronics control units, sensors, actuators, and start-up of new systems. • Testing on test benches of electronic control units, sensors and actuators. • Configuration, integration, and testing of electronic and telecommunication systems.

From February to October 2018 I carried out research activities at the IRS Institute of Space Systems of the University of Stuttgart, where I worked on my Master's thesis. Topic of the thesis was the analysis of the effects of an external magnetic field on an Inductively Coupled Plasma generator (ICP).

During my stay in Skyward, I was responsible as a Project Team Leader for the work of 8 engineers whose task was to design, build and test the recovery system and related subsystems (ejection, release and control) of the experimental rocket "Rocksanne 2-A". - Supervise technical activity of team members. - Supervise the design, construction and test of the subsystems of the rocket. - Project management (FreedCamp, Trello). - Requirements management, Git. - Mechanical design and 3D CAD drawing.

As a Project Engineer my duties included the design, construction and testing of the recovery system and related subsystems of the experimental rocket "Rocksanne I-X" of the student association Skyward Experimental Rocketry. Skills acquired: 3D CAD mechanical drawing (SolidWorks) 2D CAD drawings (SolidWorks) Collaboration with laboratory technicians during manufacturing Writing technical documentation (Microsoft Word, LaTeX)
