Space Software Systems Unit, Deimos Space: Madrid, 2005-to date.

Assembly, Integration and Validation Manager (2006-): GALILEO Mission Support Facility (MSF).
The MSF is part of Galileo's Ground Mission System. It performs Galileo's most accurate orbit and clock restitutions and measures the system historical performance.

Software Engineer (2005-2006): GALILEO Raw Data Generator (RDG).
The RDG is part of Galileo's System Simulation Facility. The RDG uses high fidelity models to generate GPS and Galileo observables acquired by Galileo Sensor Stations.

Research Assistant for Prof. Randall Bramley at The Extreme Computing Lab: Indiana, 09/2002 - 2005.

Mission Analysis Unit, GMV (Flight Mechanics Group): Madrid, 1998-2000.

Software Engineer: ENVISAT Monitoring and Control Facility (MCF).
The Monitoring and Control Facility is a a tool to elaborate the Mission Plan of the European Space Agency's earth observing satellite, ENVISAT.

Software Engineer: ENVISAT Reference Operations Plan Generation Tool (RGT).
The RGT is used for preparation and reiteration of the Mission observation files used in the exploitation of the on-board instruments.
