About me

I'm Noor Marzouk, a Mechanical Engineering student at Northeastern University with a passion for transforming manufacturing and product development challenges into practical, well-engineered solutions.

Using tools like Six Sigma/Lean methodology, root-cause analysis, and SolidWorks, I move from concept to hands-on testing and process improvement across industries, from biomedical devices to energy. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams and translating technical detail into clear, actionable insight.

When I'm not solving problems at work, I'm probably solving them for fun: chasing down a good hiking trail, cracking a puzzle, or hunting for my next travel destination (Lego set optional, but likely in hand).

Focus areas:

Manufacturing

I love turning tooling, fixtures, and process design into the bridge between a CAD model and a part I can actually produce, again and again.

Energy systems

I'm drawn to thermal, mechanical, and structural design for hardware that stores, moves, or converts energy.

Product design

I like taking user-facing hardware from a concept sketch through prototyping until it's something people actually use.

Medical devices

I've gotten hands-on with test method validation and component qualification for medical devices, and I love how much precision and care that work demands.

Six Sigma Scrap Reduction

$132K+ saved
Insulet Corporation Jan 2026 – Jun 2026 Boston, MA
Insulet manufacturing cleanroom floor

The problem

A specific component cavity was driving elevated scrap on one production code — climbing to 15%, nearly 8x the typical rate on comparable cavities. Left unresolved, it threatened efficiency and the line's ability to scale toward higher volumes.

The solution

I led a Six Sigma/Lean DMAIC project to find the root cause and drive it to resolution, partnering with the tooling supplier to modify the problem cavity and validating results through hands-on measurement and testing. Scrap dropped from 15% to 0.9% — a 94% reduction — saving $132K+ annually and unlocking 260,000+ additional units of capacity per year. I earned my Six Sigma/Lean Purple Belt through this project.

Sharon Water Treatment Facility

$33.7M project
Apex LLC Jan 2025 – Jun 2025 Boston, MA
Sharon Water Treatment Facility under construction

The problem

The Town of Sharon needed a new Water Treatment Facility to remove PFAS, along with elevated manganese and iron, from three source wells. With PFAS linked to serious health risks even at low exposure and capped at 20 parts per trillion under drinking water regulations, the town needed a compliant, reliable solution — a $33.7M project funded through low-interest loans and federal/state grants.

The solution

As part of the Apex team supporting this project, I created 100+ submittals and RFIs to keep design and construction moving, and used AutoCAD to draw piping layouts for the treatment plant. I also developed water main base maps, tie-cards, and design sketches using Civil 3D and ArcGIS, and validated contractor invoices against approved bid scope and cost.

Sustainable Green Roof Exhibit

92% said they learned a lot

Students viewing the Magical Green Roofs exhibit

The problem

The team was tasked with designing a portable, interactive tabletop exhibit to teach 8–11-year-olds about the sustainability of green roofs — within a $100 budget and strict size and transport constraints. We chose sedum-based green roofs as the theme, to show how a simple plant choice can build a more sustainable home and ecosystem.

The solution

We built an interactive exhibit where users help the Madrigal family from Disney's Encanto construct a sedum green roof for their Casita, answering questions about sedum's CO2 intake, pollinating, insulating, and root properties to light up the Casita and reveal the benefits of each choice. At the Beachmont Expo, 30 people played through the exhibit: 92% said they learned a lot, and 80% stayed for the whole experience.

Where engineering takes me

Growing solar without losing the land

Study Abroad Program Seville, Spain
Plaza de España, Seville

While studying abroad in Seville, I took Engineering Computation and Design with a focus on renewable energy and sustainability, touring multiple energy companies and infrastructure sites across Andalucía. Learning directly from local engineers shaped my final project, an analysis of how Andalucía can grow its solar capacity without sacrificing the olive groves and historic landscapes that define the region.

  • Toured energy companies and infrastructure sites across Andalucía, learning directly from local engineers about renewable energy in practice.
  • Argued that agrivoltaics, floating photovoltaics, and rooftop/urban integration can each open up solar capacity without clearing new land.
  • These approaches use farmland, water surfaces, and existing buildings instead, protecting the reservoirs and traditional landscapes central to the region's economy and culture.
  • Success depends on coordination between engineers designing low-impact systems, communities shaping projects around local needs, and policy that rewards reusing existing space over new development.

Decarbonizing gas turbines

Industry Shadowing GE Vernova Gas Power
GE Vernova Gas Power

I had the opportunity to meet with several leaders at GE Vernova Gas Power to discuss ongoing developments in the future of energy, specifically how decarbonizing gas turbine systems could offer a clean, reliable, and high-density alternative to wind and solar. Conversations with engineers and business leaders across the team shaped my understanding of the technical and market challenges facing this space.

  • Discussed post-combustion carbon capture and green hydrogen as the two leading technical paths to decarbonizing gas turbines, each still limited by geographic feasibility or scale of maturity.
  • Explored commercialization strategy and cost barriers with a focus on lowering the price of decarbonized gas turbine systems.
  • Found that widespread adoption hinges on government support, particularly investment in green hydrogen infrastructure and financial incentives, especially as renewable energy growth plateaus in North America and Europe.
