Gilmartin and new Robins boss John McGreal worked with each other at Colchester with the former goalkeeper featuring 22 times for the club in the 2018/19 season.
McGreal told Swindon’s website: “I know what type of character he is. Very, very hard working, studious of the game and a thoroughly professional coach.
“I know all the attributes that he’ll bring as a coach and as a person. It’s the trust factor as well, I know he’s someone that will get the best out of the squad and the staff in and around him as well.”
Gilmartin, who is currently working as a goalkeeper coach for the Republic of Ireland’s Under-21 side, will join up with Swindon on his return from international duty.
