Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your electrical powertrain expertise in a cutting‑edge field. You’ll work alongside a collaborative, multi‑disciplinary, and innovative team of professionals.

You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the performance, functionality, and compliance of our train traction systems. Day‑to‑day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as EMC, reliability, safety, and weight teams), contribute to technical reviews, and support validation activities, among other responsibilities.

You’ll specifically take care of defining electrical propulsion and braking functions, as well as simulating powertrain energy consumption on mission profiles, but also support the reliability growth of the traction system during revenue service.

We’ll look to you for:

• Specifying electrical propulsion and braking functions and their performances at the train level
• Defining or applying function architecture and allocating sub‑functions to sub‑systems
• Collaborating with multi‑disciplinary teams to identify and flow down requirements
• Evaluating technical proposals and supporting solution selection
• Managing technical deliverables from traction designers and manufacturers
• Ensuring compliance with norms, standards, and local technical regulations
• Leading validation activities, including test specifications, execution, and reporting
• Tuning the traction system to meet desired performances in collaboration with other systems
• Supporting reliability growth through root cause analysis and mitigation plans

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 with a general background in mechanical and/or electrical fields
• 5 years of experience working on electrical powertrain systems

• Fluency in English and French
• Willingness to travel in France and abroad for short‑term missions
