Dr. Javier Pérez Perez Mato

Avionics Integration and Test Engineer at European Space Agency - ESA

Since I was a child I always felt passion for space and aeronautics, as well as science and technology in general. My ultimate professional goal is to be part of the team making possible the first human mission to Mars. I have a formal background in both telecommunications and aerospace engineering and some of my most recent accomplishments include the electrical implementation and testing of avionics bus protocols, development of fully-automated HIL simulation and testing environments and the integration and testing of spacecraft flight hardware in cleanrooms, including interplanetary missions with very strict planetary protection constraints. Specialities: - Spacecraft Assembly, Test and Launch Operations (AIT/AIV/ATLO) - EVT and launch campaigns - Data buses (ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553B, SpaceWire, CAN Bus, RS-422) - Data Handling Subsystems (DHS) - Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) Simulation and Testing - Automated Test Equipment (ATE) design, implementation and operation - Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) - Analog and Digital Electronics - Radio Communications (Satellite and Terrestrial) - Hardware Engineering - Systems Engineering
