Job description

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, 80,000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Your future role

You’ll specifically take care of planning and executing end-to-end tests, but also support project management activities and architectural design reviews.

We’ll look to you for:

• Designing and implementing the test environment, including specifying tools, data, and configurations needed for comprehensive testing
• Troubleshooting and resolving issues within the test environment
• Planning test cases and datasets to ensure thorough testing
• Validating digital integration, data interfaces, and overall performance alignment with customer requirements
• Identifying defects and ensuring their resolution in collaboration with project teams
• Supporting the planning and execution of architecture reviews across project milestones
• Providing progress updates, identifying issues and risks related to deliverables, and supporting project management activities
• Managing inputs and outputs with other subsystems during design and validation phases

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:

• Degree in engineering or equivalent professional experience
• At least one year of experience in a managerial role within an operational environment, particularly in the context of digital solutions
• Hands-on experience in one or more software development phases such as software development, hardware-software integration, etc.
• Experience working with multinational companies and diverse corporate cultures
• Familiarity with Alstom’s working methods for effective process execution (preferred)
• System engineering certification (preferred)
• Practical knowledge of safety management systems and safety risk assessment (preferred)
• Strong knowledge of railway products and systems
• Excellent leadership, coordination, and communication skills, with the ability to orchestrate cross-functional activities in a multicultural and multi-tiered environment (system and subsystems)
• Results-oriented mindset with a strong ability to manage technical risks
• Team spirit, rigor, autonomy, and a capacity to learn complex technical subjects quickly
• Fluency in French and English
• Knowledge of an additional language is an asset for collaborating with international partners, suppliers, colleagues, and clients

Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long-term career free from boring daily routines
