Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Could you be the full-time Integrated Control Center (ICC) Data Center Infrastructure (DCI) Verification & Validation (V&V) Designer in Toronto, ON we’re looking for?

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your verification and validation expertise in a cutting‑edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and innovative teammates.

You’ll ensure a fully verified, validated, and integrated railway signalling project deployment, contributing to Alstom's commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as sub‑system validation teams, project core teams, and customers), design and execute test plans, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of designing overall tests, including test plans, test cases, and scenarios, but also performing and documenting test sessions with a focus on customer acceptance.

We’ll look to you for:

• Designing overall tests: test plans, test cases, objectives, scenarios, and steps with a realistic operational context

• Preparing for test sessions by aligning Impact Analysis reports and scheduling validation meetings

• Executing test sessions, producing test reports, and performing customer acceptance tests

• Specifying, designing, developing, and validating test environments and tools

• Supporting defect investigations detected in the factory or from the site

• Managing V&V work products under configuration management

• Ensuring test traceability against requirements

• Supporting sub‑systems validation teams in their execution

• Providing workload estimates to support overall project scheduling

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• Bachelor Degree in Engineering or a related field

• At least 10 years of experience in signalling, particularly in V&V, Design, or Application

• Experience or understanding of Integrated Control Center (ATS, SCADA, Security), Interlocking, PTC, CBTC, or Cybersecurity

• Knowledge of software development (C++/C#), validation, and document verification

• Familiarity with IT infrastructure, converged/hyper‑converged infrastructure, or SQL databases

• A basic understanding of scripting languages (PowerShell, Python, Shell) and Linux environments

• Knowledge of Microsoft Windows server roles, TCP/IP networking, and cybersecurity (NIST‑800)

• Experience with test tooling environments, automation, and transport signalling systems

• System Administration experience or knowledge

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
