Date: 6 Jul 2026

Location: Madrid, MD, ES

Company: Alstom

At Alstom, we build what millions depend on daily - rail transportation systems that can’t afford to fail. We’re more than 85,000 people worldwide creating the industry’s most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.
 
 
More than a job: a mission

 

 

We’re looking for an IXL V&V Leader to ensure the integrity and performance of signalling systems that keep cities moving safely and efficiently. This is high-impact engineering: guaranteeing that complex railway systems meet the highest standards before they go live.
 

You’ll work alongside people who show up with ownership, passion, and dedication - because they know what’s at stake: the journey home.
 
 
Your role, your impact

• Define and lead Verification, Integration and Testing activities across the full project lifecycle
• Develop and manage the Verification & Validation (V&V) plan and Requirement Validation Table (RVT)
• Ensure full requirements coverage, including safety and functional validation
• Coordinate system integration, interface validation and in-house testing activities
• Lead document reviews, testing execution and reporting
• Perform on-site functional testing and analyse results
• Guarantee independence between verification and design teams
• Provide project reporting in line with TIS processes and contractual requirements
 
 
You’ll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering and project functions - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.
 
 
What you bring

• Experience in railway signalling, especially IXL and ICC systems (design, integration or testing)
• Strong knowledge of signalling principles and IXL subsystem architecture
• Experience with requirement management tools (DOORS, Reqtify, ClearQuest, etc.)
• Analytical mindset with the ability to debug and resolve system issues
• Proactive, self-motivated and eager to continuously learn
• Fluency in Spanish and English
 
 
How success is measured

• Quality and completeness of verification and validation activities
• Timely delivery of testing and reporting milestones
• Full traceability and coverage of system requirements
• Effective collaboration across teams and stakeholders
 
 
Alstom, a great place to grow

• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career free from boring daily routines
• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues
• Contribute to innovative projects
• Utilise our cooperative 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
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage
 
 
Here, progress isn’t always easy - the scale is massive, the tasks are complex - but the impact is real. Because when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects - that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
