01Who I Am
Portrait of Adnand Grembi

Aerospace Test Engineer

I started my career in industrial automation, working hands-on with machines, electrical systems and PLCs. That experience taught me how complex systems behave in practice — and how to spot problems before they become failures.

Today I work in aerospace testing and validation, where I apply that same practical mindset to space hardware. I contribute to testing and validation activities supporting major European space programs.
