Hi! I'm Federico Macchi

Aerospace software Engineer // System Integrator Specialist

As the AW169 Simulators Product Line Owner, I oversee the software development and integration of new features for every AW169 Simulator - often cooperating with other companies such as CAE and Reiser.
I'm also responsible to maintain the codebase and update legacy parts with new, cutting edge, technologies and solve bugs along the way.
I'm directly connected with PMs and PEs to ensure projects success; I frequently speak with clients to verify requirements, limitations and discuss additional requests.

Master Thesis

My Master Thesis analyzed current research on testing framework and presents a new one with the purpose of automating the GUI testing of a product developed by the Leonardo Company.

The framework, which I developed as a proof-of-concept, employed a modern tech stack comprising:

• Java
• JUnit
• Selenium
• OpenCV
• Tesseract OCR
• Jenkins

A paper has been extracted from the Thesis, and presented at the 28th FRUCT Conference  , held in Moscow on 25-29 January, 2021.
FRUCT is a recognized high quality scientific event, with a good rating in national systems like the Finnish (JUFO=1, JufoID: 72707), Norwegian (NSD=1), Danish (BFI=1, ID: 8782540) ones.
