Mechanical Engineering Graduate
James Vallée
ECAP Structures Engineering at Bombardier Aerospace
Background
Hello, I'm James Vallée, a mechanical engineering graduate with hands-on experience in vehicle systems, composites, and structural design. I have worked in both research and industry environments, from aerospace structures at the NRC to vehicle dynamics at Bombardier Recreational Products, and I'm currently an ECAP Structures engineer at Bombardier Aerospace in Montréal.
This portfolio highlights the projects, research, and practical experience I've gained across multiple engineering disciplines, with a focus on performance, innovation, and problem-solving in real-world applications.
Experience
- Design and analysis of chassis, suspension, and aerodynamic components
- FEA and structural validation to optimize strength-to-weight ratios
- Composite manufacturing, wet layups, and prepreg/autoclave processes
- Vehicle instrumentation, testing, and data-driven model validation
- CAD modeling, parametric optimization, and design for manufacturability
