Arnaud Lemaitre: Technical Team Lead & Design Authority in Montreal, QC

Oversee the development of custom aircraft interiors, delivering all designs on time and with high quality. Continuous work on streamlining workflows and organizational structure, methodology and processes to improve quality. Lead and motivate nine designer technologists and mechanical draftsmen to peak performance levels.

Generated aircraft components’ models and delivered reports for certification approval. Tested finished design geometries and completed Finite Element Analysis on them. Supervised and scheduled a highly productive team of four Mechanical Engineers while employing Lean Engineering principles.

Drafted aircraft components using CATIA. Served as technical lead and senior subject matter expert (SME) for processes & products evolutions, design rules, change management and data structuring; leveraged advanced expertise to support design processes. Analyzed project feasibility and costs, and determined best methodologies/tools. Ensured full compliance to specifications, regulations and standards when coordinating technical changes and evolutions. Implemented process reviews and quality controls. Liaised with clients to gather requirements, define schedules, communicate status updates and provide innovative engineering solutions. - Integrated a brand new team and fostered commitment to quality and efficiency. - Achieved design time’s reduction by 96% (2hrs) on single part, improved by 90% (20min/pers) access to information by creating reference documents and building a follow-up matrix linking requests to product information. - Improved (60%) efficiency and nearly eliminated error

Involved in design and development of a new type of transmission for automotive and recreative products. Developed test's procedures on assemblies, parts and materials.

Simultaneously managed three vehicle projects including a worldwide program, producing deliverables on time and with high quality. Monitored digital mock-ups and developed physical prototypes. - Created a standardized digital mock-up to reduce (-30%) loading times and guarantee no duplication of data. - Transferred a major project in Slovenia and seamlessly migrated data between plants, facilitated PDM tool training to staff of 120.

Accepted contract position providing information to dealers regarding components and replacement parts. Worked with Toyota Europe to ensure all dealer needs were met.

Developed non-linear model for narrow tilting three-wheeled vehicle. Analyzed behavior under different conditions and produced numerical mechanical system simulations using Pacejka's Magic Formula.

Completed bibliographic studies and designed software characterizing large industrial fires.

Studied energetic costs for the distribution function of synthetic rubber production. Monitored daily software results and created provisional budget.

Installed and improved production machine to meet stringent manufacturing & quality requirements. Trained operators on machine utilization, gathered requirements, tested equipments and fixed bugs. Improved productivity, ergonomics and environmental work conditions by designing a new cell layout.

Tested components and generated technical reports.
