System Integration & Architecture: Manage the technical requirements, architecture, and integration of tactical data link networks, with a specialized focus on Link 16 capabilities for aerospace defense platforms.

​Technical Documentation: Produce, review, and maintain rigorous technical specifications, interface control documents, and engineering reports to support system deployment, testing, and interoperability standards.

​Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with multi-disciplinary aerospace engineering teams to ensure secure, reliable, and optimized communication architectures across complex defense systems.

​Project Execution: Apply structured systems engineering methodologies to analyze system performance, troubleshoot integration challenges, and support key project milestones.

• • Defined and maintained the Mission System Architecture for the next-gen Maritime Patrol Aircraft (PATMAR), ensuring alignment with high-level operational requirements.

• • Managed the Requirements Engineering lifecycle using DOORS, performing traceability links, consistency checks, and baseline management for critical avionics subsystems.

• • Led V&V campaigns: Definition of Test Procedures and verification of system functional requirements in accordance with V-Model and safety standards (MIL-STD).

• • Managed Interface Control Documents (ICDs) between on-board sensors, tactical systems, and ground segments, coordinating with international suppliers.

• • Defined subsystem interfaces and requirements aligned with the MBSE architectural model, ensuring consistency between DOORS requirements and system functional flows.

• • Reviewed architectural design artifacts (SysML diagrams) to validate system logic against operational requirements.

• • Led the electro-mechanical integration of a Hydrogen-Electric hybrid powertrain for a VTOL UAV (Mugin EV350), managing the interface between the PEM Fuel Cell, Type IV H2 Tank, and Li-Ion batteries.

• • Defined the System Architecture for the Energy Management System (EMS), translating operational requirements into technical specifications for power distribution and thermal management.

• • Executed V&V activities for the propulsion subsystem: defined test plans for "Iron Bird" ground testing and validated performance against theoretical models using MATLAB/Simulink.

• • Managed Safety-Critical interfaces involving high-pressure hydrogen lines and high-voltage distribution, applying hazard analysis principles to ensure operational safety.

• • Coordinated with suppliers for the customization of the conformable tank and fuel cell stack, acting as the technical focal point for component integration.
