Saher Barsoum

Microelectronics engineer with a PhD in Radiofrequency acoustic devices (SAW/BAW), with robust expertise in cleanroom operations, semiconductor fabrication, FEM simulation, and device validation.

Proven ability to translate physical models into working devices and validated prototypes. Experienced in both academic and industrial environments (CEA-LETI, CNRS, SOITEC and STMicroelectronics joint labs).

Currently seeking a permanent role in multiphysics modelling, device validation, or microelectronics support within an innovation-driven environment.

I am a microelectronics and mechanical engineer with a PhD and hands-on experience covering the full development cycle of advanced devices, from numerical modeling and design to cleanroom fabrication and experimental validation. At CEA-LETI and IEMN-CNRS, I worked on SAW/BAW RF devices, developing FEM and circuit models, optimizing processes, and validating results through measurements on fabricated structures. My work included close collaboration with industrial partners, translating physical models into manufacturable solutions, reducing development time through efficient simulation tools, and supporting design and process decisions with data-driven analysis.

I hold a PhD in Engineering Sciences with a specialization in microelectronics, materials, and multiphysics simulation, supported by a double Master’s degree in Functional Advanced Materials and Engineering from TU Darmstadt and Grenoble INP-Phelma. This training provided me with a strong foundation in mechanics of materials, numerical methods (FEM), and experimental characterization, complemented by a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. Together, this academic background equips me with both theoretical depth and practical engineering skills in material behavior, process modeling, and device validation.
