I was in charge of all the RAMS activities regarding the development of the TVAS system (Thrust Vectoring Actuation System) for the new Ariane 6 program (http://www.arianespace.com/ariane-6/), working on:
• hazard identification and analysis;
• risk assessment;
• fault tree analysis (FTA);
• reliability predictions (NPRD, FMD);
• FMECA development (component & system or functional);
• system testability analyses (system failure identification and detection by means of FMECA);
• reliability block diagram (RBD) development and analysis
• RAMS documentation issues and updates (Dependability &Testability Assessments, Preliminary Hazard Analysis, Hazard Analysis, Critical Item List, etc.);
according to military standards MIL-STD-882, MIL-HDBK-338, MIL-HDBK-217, MIL-STD-1629 and space product assurance standards ECSS-Q-ST-30C, ECSS-Q-ST-40C and ECSS-Q-HB-30-08A, with a proven (and current) practice on the Ariane 6 program.
Moreover since summer 2019, I was involved in RAMS analyses for an electromechanical actuator for surface actuation control system on a civil airliner, by following aerospace standards like ARP-4754 and ARP-4761 or DO-178 for software certification procedures (basic knowledge).

Description of duties and responsibilities:
Since January 2016 and as external consultant, I’m supporting the safety engineer in charge of the AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar CAPTOR-E safety activities here in this Selex-ES facility (http://www.leonardocompany.com/en/-/captor-e-radar), working on:
• hazard identification and analysis
• risk assessment
• safety documentation issues (FHA, PSSA, PHA, HA, SSA, CCA reviews)
• fault tree analysis (FTA) and development
• reliability predictions
• FMECA development (component & functional)
• reliability block diagram (RBD) development and analysis
mainly by using the PTC RELEX (PTC Windchill) software on the basis of military standards (MIL-STD-882; MIL-HDBK-338; MIL-HDBK-217; MIL-STD-1629).
Moreover, and always in Altran:
From July 2013 till December 2015
I was part of the FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red search and tracking) team in Selex-ES company, working on the requirements traceability and upgrade for the Eurofighter airborne Infra-Red Search and Track device (http://www.eurofighter.com/capabilities/technology/sensor-fusion/infra-red-search-and-track.html).

From February 2011 to June 2013
I was part of the ILS (Integrated Logistic Support) team in ALENIA-Aermacchi company.
During this time regarding the Alenia-Aermacchi M-346 advanced military trainer (http://www.leonardocompany.com/-/m-346), my activities covered the following areas:
• failure identification in terms of Ground/Cabin Crew observed faults and electronic control units detected faults;
• development of time effective procedures to isolate faults on Aircraft equipment (troubleshooting analysis);
• update or issue the Failure Mode & Effect Criticality Analysis (FMECA) to system aircraft level (hydraulic system, fuel system, propulsion, etc.), in order to seek critical areas and as ultimate goal, meeting the compliance with quality and internal standards so as to overcome the approval and certification of the M-346 jet trainer.

From July 2007 to December 2010
I was part of the aerospace modelling and simulation team in SELEX GALILEO company.
During this time for the flight simulators of the TORNADO, Alenia Aermacchi M-346, CL-415 aircrafts and for the
Agusta AB212 helicopter, my activities covered the following areas:
• development of mathematical models for the airborne systems simulation (hydraulic, fuel, electrical, engine models and torque transmission, helicopter propulsion & power system, etc.);
• mathematical models to simulate the flight mechanics of missiles (IR or radar guided), bombs (laser, GPS guided or “dumb”) and to manage and release the external ordnances and payload;
• analysis about weights, inertias and aircraft center of mass location;
preliminary aerodynamic analysis through CFD software for non-viscous fluids (MGAERO software).
