Job description

Overview

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

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your technical and problem-solving expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and innovative teammates.

You'll help shape the future of train system testing by ensuring the configuration and operational readiness of the TrainLab. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (including engineering, testing, and project management teams), manage the integration of real and simulated devices, and support functional testing activities while ensuring compliance with EHS rules.

You’ll specifically take care of laboratory setup and model development, but also contribute to configuration management and test execution.

We’ll look to you for:

• Preparing the TrainLab before the reception of test means
• Developing specific models (equipment, low voltage, environment) and integrating external models
• Configuring TrainLab tools according to planned tests
• Ensuring that 100% of train system functional tests are performed
• Meeting efficiency targets, including time to implement new configurations and time to start TrainLab operations
• Maximizing test execution time utilization

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:

• Engineering degree or equivalent
• Hands-on experience with electrical and schematic design
• Experience in model-based control systems (e.g., Control Build, Matlab/Simulink)
• Familiarity with industrial communication networks (Serial, Ethernet, MVB)
• Strong communication and interpersonal abilities
• Customer focus and management skills
• Fluency in French and English. Knowledge of a language other than French is an asset when dealing with our international partners, suppliers, colleagues and customers. In Quebec, French remains the main working language of our company.

Things you’ll enjoy

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
• Work with new security standards for rail signalling
• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues
• Contribute to innovative projects
• Utilise our dynamic and inclusive working environment
• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries
• Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning
• Progress towards roles such as Senior Test Engineer or Project Manager
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension)
