Jihad Alsamarji

Since childhood, I've been captivated by understanding how things work. I pursued a degree in General Sciences in high school and specialized in Mechanical Engineering in university. Afterward, I joined AVERDA, managing a team in waste management in AL AHSA, KSA. Seeking growth, I obtained a master's in Mechatronics from VUB and ULB in Belgium. During summers, I pursued internships and online courses across diverse fields. Transitioning to hardware development at Ingenico, I now oversee automation projects, integrating PLCs, HMI, SCADA, and DCS. My interest in the intersection of mechanics and electronics propelled me into the field of hardware development. At Ingenico, I transitioned from a Hardware Development Specialist to an Automation Project Manager. In this role, I oversee the automation of payment terminal product qualification tests on test benches controlled by PLCs, HMI, SCADA, and DCS.
