About Samer Gerges

I’m seeking a R&D Mechanical Engineer or CAE, NVH Engineer role at top semiconductor and aerospace companies, and am the perfect fit for this role because I have the following relevant skills; TOT, research and development, team management, cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder communication, process development, math modeling and sensors. I have implemented digital transformation and process improvement and used Power Apps to digitize workflows for daily briefs and preventive maintenance checks, transforming paper-based processes into a searchable digital format that enhanced workflow efficiency and reduced errors, as evidenced by 4 optimized methodologies implemented last month. I also troubleshoot and resolve technical issues through experimental models and research projects related to mechanical vibration, elasticity, and material properties, developing methodologies for design optimization applied to 5 research projects, resulting in system efficiency improvements of up to 25%. Project management skills with experience leveraging Power Apps to digitize daily briefs, preventive maintenance spot checks, and daily rounds, transforming a paper-based workflow into a searchable, well-documented process that improved workflow efficiency and reduced errors, as demonstrated by successfully completing 4 new methods over the last 2 months involving processes related to operations, documentation, root cause analysis and presentation. Leadership and training skills shown through delivering online and in-person lessons, adapting curriculum and teaching methods, utilizing assessment techniques to enhance skill development and operational efficiency, resulting in improved uptime across facilities and directing comprehensive training plans for over 50 operations team members. Strong analytical and communication skills demonstrated through non-linear optimization for high-degree-of-freedom design problems using MATLAB and Julia, implementing over 25 software tools to enhance computational efficiency and problem-solving capabilities. I want to serve an organization that prizes family, spirituality and creativity among its employees. I’m excited to be on a team built around humility, learning and adaptability. I know I will thrive at a company where work life balance is valued, as well as persistence and autonomy. I want to be a part of an organization that infuses growth into their brand, culture and market and who I can help make a difference in the world. Please connect with me here:
