Your future role

Take on a new challenge and put your software development expertise into practice in an innovative, cutting-edge field. At Alstom, the TestPlatform team designs and develops test systems and benches used to validate complete trains.

We will rely on you to:

• Bring your expertise and versatility in programming languages such as C/C++ on Linux, Web technologies (C# .NET, JavaScript), and Python
• Develop and integrate new software features
• Analyse and fix software issues on TestPlatform products
• Improve our tools and practices: CI/CD (GitLab CI), test automation, monitoring, etc.
• Write technical documentation, including specifications and test procedures
• Conduct unit testing to ensure software quality
• Collaborate closely with teams in a multicultural and multidisciplinary environment
• Participate in weekly task definition meetings

All About You
