Could you be the full‑time Software Development Engineer – Remote Train Operation Solution in Villeurbanne (69 - France) we’re looking for?

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your software development expertise in a cutting‑edge field. You’ll work alongside an innovative, collaborative, and experienced team.

You’ll play a key role in developing a pioneering remote train operation solution, directly contributing to the future of autonomous mobility. Day‑to‑day, you’ll work closely with experts in user experience (UX) and embedded systems, develop key subsystems (such as remote driving consoles, onboard systems for drone trains, telecommunications, etc.), and enhance user experience by proposing innovative solutions to improve system ergonomics and performance through impactful deliverables and demonstrations.

You’ll specifically take care of designing and developing remote operation interfaces and addressing telecommunications challenges, but also implementing DevOps practices to ensure scalable and modular software architecture.

We’ll look to you for:

• Implementing the most appropriate technological strategies to address remote train operation challenges
• Designing and developing UX interfaces for remote train supervision and operation, ensuring ergonomics, responsiveness, and safety
• Managing network and telecommunication challenges, including data flow optimization and reliable, low‑latency communication protocols
• Applying DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipeline management and API integration for third‑party components
• Collaborating with robotics experts on inter‑system communication and software component integration
• Participating in laboratory and on‑site testing to validate algorithms
• Ensuring adherence to best practices in testing, quality assurance, and cybersecurity
• Promoting Alstom’s Code of Ethics and upholding high standards of ethical conduct

• Degree in engineering or a Master’s with significant experience in software development
• Experience in designing and developing solutions related to robotics or perception systems (e.g., computer vision) for embedded or non‑embedded applications
• Proficiency in C++ and Python programming languages
• Familiarity with DevOps tools (GitLab CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
• Experience in developing user interfaces (e.g., Qt, React, web interfaces)
• Knowledge of network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, MQTT, etc.)
• Experience in robotics or autonomous systems (a plus)
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic and uncertain environment within an international context
• Strong team player with a customer satisfaction focus
• Fluent in French and English
