Joël Gaudreault, Hardware Designer:

“I love the variety of my working days at Syntronic”

Meet Joël Gaudreault, whose passion for innovation-driven hardware design is matched only by his love for sports and commitment to creating a positive environment for the people around him.

Hailing from the picturesque winter sports town of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Joël appreciates the fact that he can see the mountains from Syntronic’s office in Ottawa.

“It’s amazing to work in an international technology hub like Kanata and still be surrounded by spectacular nature,” he says.

The combination that Joël describes – technology and spectacular nature – sums up the early part of his life rather well. He spends his childhood exploring ski trails out in the mountains and disassembling tech gadgets to figure out how they worked.

"I've always been fascinated by the invisible processes behind the scenes of technology,” he says.

“Those process intrigued me when I was a child, and they still do. I know that most people don’t need an answer to the question of how on earth it is possible for us to pick up a smartphone and communicate with someone on the other side of the planet, but for me that question matters,” Joël remarks, a hint of wonder in his voice.

Opportunities at Syntronic

His thirst for understanding how things work made Joël opt for a career as an engineer. Having pursued a degree in electrical engineering from the Université de Sherbrooke, he gained valuable working experience at a Montréal-based startup before joining Syntronic in 2022.

"What sets Syntronic apart is the diversity of opportunities that we are offered here," Joël shares. He explains that he appreciates the possibility to be involved in a myriad of different projects, which each presents its own set of challenges and learning opportunities.

"I love the variety of my working days at Syntronic,” he says. “At this stage in my career, I don’t want to settle or stagnate by focusing on only one thing. I need the freedom to discover new strengths and learning opportunities, and I feel that I’m being given exactly that here."

Joël also cherishes the collaborative atmosphere within Syntronic. "It’s a great feeling to be part of a team where we are always willing to answer each other’s question and work together to get the best results," he says with a smile.

Mentors, he emphasizes, play a pivotal role in his career journey. "Learning from experienced colleagues here at Syntronic is accelerated my growth immensely. I see their support as one of the cornerstones of my professional development."

A positive environment

Beyond the realm of engineering, Joël gets energy from sports – particularly from his newly-discovered passion for golf.

"Golf teaches me patience and precision. It’s also a great way to spend time outdoors with friends and colleagues who share the same passion”.

Quality time with friends and family is Joël’s main source of energy.

"The most important thing for me is to create an environment where the people around me feel content and valued," he concludes.
