I am currently R&D Manager at Enedo SpA, where I lead a multifunctional team of 30 engineers in developing innovative power electronics products. My responsibilities include overseeing new product introductions (NPI), managing budgets (CAPEX and OPEX), and ensuring customer specifications are met. I also supervise testing, compliance, and laboratory operations, including EMC, safety, and DVT labs, while collaborating with tier customers and coordinating roadmaps for strategic product development.

Previously, I served as R&D Program Coordinator at Roal Electronics, managing design pipelines and optimizing time and cost across multiple simultaneous projects. I coordinated cross-functional teams to deliver high-reliability products, ensuring timely execution and quality standards. As Mechatronics Leader at Meccano SpA, I designed and developed custom electronics for infrared systems and testing facilities and contributed significantly to the establishment of EMC and acoustic laboratories, enhancing testing capabilities.

At Alenia Defense Systems, I worked as a System Engineer, simulating and integrating military systems, including avionics, radar, and digital communication technologies. I collaborated on international NATO and defense projects, contributing to advanced system design and performance optimization. During my time as Electronic Engineer at Adriatica Petroli SpA, I supported remote diagnostic systems for large heating facilities and developed innovative hardware and software solutions to enhance energy management capabilities.

Earlier in my career, as a Contract Researcher at the University, I specialized in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), focusing on research and measurement techniques. I contributed to advancements in numerical simulations, EMC testing, and near-field measurement methodologies.
