Work History
PCB AND EMBEDDED DESIGNER
GANOTEC
Brossard, Canada
09.2025 - Current
- Developed an automated insulation and continuity test system using 2 customs 4-layer PCBs (Master and Slave) featuring dedicated 1 kV isolation zones, STM32 control architecture, isolated RS-485 communication, and solid-state relay switching.
- Implemented the power subsystem including USB-C power-path management, Li-ion battery-charging circuitry, and 3.3 V regulation, along with the embedded firmware driving automated test sequences.
- Designed the complete hardware stack: detailed schematics, PCB layout, connector selection, high-voltage creepage/clearance spacing, and full system integration.

EV Electrical Test Engineer
BRP
Valcourt, Canada
01.2022 - 01.2025
- Validated EV power systems including DC-DC converters, traction batteries (8.9 kWh / 25 kWh), and control electronics under extreme thermal and vibration environments.
- Performed system-level electrical measurements: ripple, transient response, power quality, and EMC performance.
- Conducted HALT testing (thermal shock, vibration, and environmental stress), improving field reliability for off-grid and harsh-environment applications.
- Authored engineering documentation: test plans, load-case profiles, fault analysis, and compliance verification reports aligned with IEC/ISO standards.
- Collaborated across electrical, firmware, and mechanical teams to resolve integration issues and validate energy subsystems end-to-end.
