AlbaCubeSat
On-Board Software (OBSW) Engineering in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA).
Operating under rigorous zero-fail constraints, I developed critical C-based flight logic directly on the Nanomind A3200 onboard computer hardware, paving the way for a fully functional CubeSat launch into low Earth orbit.
Detumbling Mode Engineering
I took ownership of the Detumbling Mode, a critical phase post-deployment. The satellite must dramatically stabilize its rotation utilizing the Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) and magnetic torquers before initiating main operations. I engineered this entire logic natively in C.
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)
Code execution in simulated environments is not enough for aerospace standards. I conducted strict physical Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing of the software directly on the Nanomind A3200 onboard computer in the laboratory.
Zero-Fail Constraints & ESA Standards
Developed comprehensive unit tests and mocked hardware interfaces (e.g., battery sensors, gyroscopes) to validate failure states and safe-mode triggers. Every line of code was strictly audited.
