Working in space engineering today means dealing not only with innovation, but with the challenge of making that innovation reliable, traceable, and applicable in real operational environments. At REA Space, this translates into a professional path that combines quality engineering, systems development, and research in human-centered space technologies. Quality & Certification — Contributing to the implementation of ECSS-compliant quality processes and supporting the ISO 9001 / AS9100 certification path, with a focus on developing robust and certifiable systems. R&D — EVA Thermal Management — Supporting research activities on thermal management systems for EVA suits, exploring innovative cooling solutions for extreme environments and human spaceflight applications. Project Management — EMSi — Leading the scientific and technical activities of EMSi, a wearable countermeasure system for human health in microgravity, coordinating multidisciplinary efforts across development and research. The common thread across these activities is the integration of engineering, quality, and applied research to help transform advanced concepts into solutions that are technically sound, operationally relevant, and ready for demanding contexts.
