Robotics Engineer For ESA ESTEC at HE Space Operations
Leiden, South Holland, Spain
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarti Vilella is a robotics and aerospace engineer with five years of hands-on experience developing automation and in-orbit servicing technologies for ESA at HE Space Operations. He leads the Orbital Robotics Laboratory, bridging contract definition and execution with research, education, and realistic testing of robotic systems in simulated weightlessness. His background combines embedded control software, FPGA/SoC design, and ROS-powered autonomy from roles at Bosch, YER, and multiple ESA internships, giving him rare full-stack expertise across hardware, controls, and mission engineering. Marti’s MSc work on autonomous grasp planning for uncooperative objects and practical experience with HIL campaigns and ECSS-compliant documentation reflect a balance of research rigor and operational discipline. Based in Leiden with roots in Spain, he brings a practical, hands-on problem-solving ethos—he once kept a production line running all summer as a maintenance tech—alongside a taste for trains and space evident in his GitHub presence.
