Top School

Roberto Muela is a Senior Staff R&D Engineer with a Master’s in Aeronautical Engineering and four years of experience building software and flight-dynamics systems for Earth observation missions like Copernicus. He combines hands-on astrodynamics and orbit determination expertise from GMV with production-grade tooling and Python ecosystem leadership developed at Ansys/Synopsys, where he led PyAnsys libraries and a CAD geometry project. Roberto codes across languages (Python, C++, Java, FORTRAN, Go) and has built everything from precise orbit-determination libraries and RESTful publication servers to AI-backed RAG infrastructure powering AnsysGPT. He is an active open-source contributor, notably improving the widely used PyMAPDL client by integrating reporting tooling, tightening CI, and modernizing tests and docs. Based in Leganés (Madrid), he brings both operational mission experience and developer-focused platform building, equally comfortable on an operational watch or shaping long-term APIs and metrics dashboards. Colleagues value his blend of space-domain rigor and pragmatic software engineering that surfaces measurable improvements in reliability and developer experience.
