About
Hello my name is James Boivin,
Born and raised in Ottawa Ontario Canada I have always had a passion for mechanical design which lead to a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Ottawa. My primary interests are in the fields of robotic manufacturing and product design. Over the past few years I have worked on several manufacturing projects at SMART Technologies Inc. and product design projects at Clean Planet Chemical. Throughout my life competitive sports has always been a passion of mine and combined with a plethora of highly skilled and dedicated mentors I have developed the drive to push all of my designs to their aesthetic and functional limits. -
Education
-
Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) Mechanical EngineeringUniversity of Ottawa2008 - 2012The degree initially focused on providing a foundation in mathematics, physical sciences and engineering principles applicable to the broad applied science field. As the degree progressed, the courses started to focus more on the fundamental aspects of mechanical engineering such as Thermodynamics, Mechanics, Circuit Design and Fluid Dynamics. At the conclusion of my degree, my concentration primarily was manufacturing and robotic design.

Mechanical DesignerOttawa, CanadaDec 2011 - Sep 2013 (1 year 9 months)Primarily focused on product design and manufacturing support for portable solvent recycler for industrial applications
Focused on product development and establishing manufacturing procedures. Research of existing technologies and development for new applications accompanied by analysis and 3D modelling. Manufacturing required a thorough understanding of metal fabrication in order to determine the best design practices for forming, machining and a variety of welding procedures.
Developed products from initial conception through too product release and manufacturing
Designed suites of accessories for products currently on the market
Created product development guidelines tailored to our specific design field -
Co-op StudentOttawa, CanadaApr 2010 - Jul 2010 (3 months)Developed manufacturing fixtures and analysed product flow through a large manufacturing facility,
Designed and implemented manufacturing mechanisms and methods to enhance productivity on a large industrial production floor. Effective design required communication between product designers and unionized lined workers to ensure that designs encompassed input from all departments. Coordinated with suppliers to obtain prototype components as specified in technical drawings.
Developed Manufacturing jigs and preformed line optimization for the SMART Table
Developed required documentation for changes based on the requirements of ISO 9001
