Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Matias is an FPGA and embedded systems engineer with 15 years of hands-on experience designing radiation-tolerant electronics and data processing units for space and accelerator systems. Currently engineering critical RF and FPGA-based controls for CERN linacs while previously architecting Edge AI accelerators and satellite payload electronics under ESA and EU programmes, he bridges systems engineering, hardware design and low-level software. Trained with an MEng in Aeronautics and Spacecraft Engineering from Imperial College London, he combines astrodynamics and propulsion interests with practical skills in high-speed serial links, power systems and ECSS-compliant product assurance. A proven team builder from leading student CubeSat and rocketry projects, he pairs mission-level CONOPS thinking with detailed component selection and test experience. Notably comfortable operating across cleanroom-to-field workflows, he brings a rare blend of space mission design insight and production-ready electronics expertise.
