Engineer Engineering

Mo Waked MSc DIC BScEng(Hons) AMIMechE *******@*****.*** +447*********

I am a Medical Engineer, with a multidisciplinary background and strength in biomechanics. I am interested in working in research, development and design or as a field engineer. I pay great attention to detail, team player, self-starter and able to work individually with minimal supervision. Primarily through engineering research, design and manufacturing, and field work, I have extensive experience in mechanical characterisation, Cell and Tissue Engineering, Bioreactors, CAD/CAM, fluorescence microscopy, COSHH, designing experimental models, and establishing SOP, and AC generators and motors with DC and steam turbine coupling. Furthermore, I have very strong numerical and analytical skills, including statistics and data analysis. I am also experienced in additive manufacturing technology (3D printing), lathes, milling, and CNC. Additionally, I have worked in procurement and mediation consulting for telecommunication projects tenders, and have worked in customer relations through various work deployments.
