At Bombardier Aerospace, I performed an internship where my mandate was to evaluate the integration of an electro-mechanical actuators technology. My work consisted of:- Developing numerical simulations to perform dynamics analysis (Simulink, MatLab)- Integrated non-linearities (backlash, friction, self-lock) in the models to simulate their impacts

Montreal

At PTC, I contributed to develop and maintain a new (at the time) manikin library toolbox for the Pro/Engineer (now Creo) 3D CAD software solution.Those manikins are used to perform anthropometric and ergonomics analysis on 3D engineering CAD models.

Mirabel

At Messier-Dowty, I worked as an assistant machinist where I operated a CNC milling machine used to machined six (6) landing gears simultaneously. Work tasks included:- Ensuring care and maintenance on the machine- Taking validation measurements- Handling of the undercarriages- Waste disposal (metal chips)

Montreal

In college, I was doing mentoring in various classes such as:- Calculus - Differential- Physics - Mechanical / Electricity and Magnetism- Mathematics for Sciences
