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

Launch your Engineering career through a 24-month rotational programme designed to develop you into a Train Control System Engineer.

Over four six-month rotations, you’ll work alongside multidisciplinary Engineering teams and contribute to real projects while building the technical breadth needed to understand a train as a complete system. You’ll gain hands-on experience across requirements, validation, transversal engineering, technical coordination, control engineering and system integration.

Your journey will take you through four complementary rotations:

1. Build your systems foundation
Start in either Requirements Management or Certification & Validation, where you’ll learn how engineering requirements are defined, managed, verified and validated, and how they translate into expected system behaviour.

2. Broaden your engineering perspective
Join either Engineering Project Management – Cybersecurity or Train System – Transversal Experts. Depending on your rotation, you’ll gain exposure to multidisciplinary engineering coordination and cybersecurity considerations, or explore transversal technical topics and how they interact across train systems.

3. Get closer to how the train behaves
In Control Engineering, you’ll discover how control functions come together to make the train operate as intended. You’ll work with system requirements and interfaces while gaining experience in the engineering activities used to integrate and verify control functions.

4. Bring it all together in Train Control
Your final rotation will be within Train Control System Engineering. Here, you’ll apply what you have learned across the programme and progressively contribute to requirements, architecture, functionalities and interfaces, system documentation, technical coordination and system integration.

By the end of the programme, you’ll have built an end-to-end view of complex railway systems and the practical Engineering experience needed to continue growing as a Train Control System Engineer.

Your role, your impact

Throughout the programme, you’ll progressively take on greater responsibility and contribute to activities such as:

• Contributing to the definition and management of Train Control system requirements, architecture, functionalities and interfaces;
• Developing system specifications and technical documentation in line with project and customer requirements;
• Supporting the integration of Train Control subsystems into the train and managing interfaces with other train systems;
• Supporting verification and validation activities to ensure system functions and interfaces meet requirements;
• Assessing engineering changes and their impact on system design, interfaces and integration;
• Collaborating with suppliers and multidisciplinary Engineering teams to solve technical challenges and support successful system integration.

You’ll work with committed Engineering teams solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility. As part of the Engineering Rotational Programme, your contribution will help develop the trains that move people and connect communities.

What you bring

You don’t need to arrive knowing everything about trains or Train Control. The programme is designed for you to learn. What matters is a strong Engineering foundation, curiosity and the motivation to develop across different technical disciplines.

You bring:

• A recent degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or another relevant Engineering discipline;
• An interest in systems engineering, control systems and complex multidisciplinary applications;
• Curiosity about how requirements, architecture, functions and interfaces come together to form a complete system;
• An interest in system integration, verification and validation;
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
• The ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment;
• Fluency in English and French;
• A growth mindset and motivation to continuously learn, ask questions and take on new challenges;
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for working across different Engineering disciplines;
• The motivation to complete a structured four-rotation Engineering development programme.

How success is measured

• Steady progress through each rotation, with demonstrated technical and professional growth;
• Quality and accuracy in Engineering deliverables and documentation;
• Increasing ability to understand connections between requirements, functions, interfaces and the complete train system;
• Positive collaboration and contribution to a safe, inclusive and high-performing Engineering culture.

Alstom, a great place to grow

• Build your Engineering career through diverse, real-world train development experiences;
• Gain exposure to innovative mobility projects and technical mentorship in Saint-Bruno;
• Learn from specialists across multiple Engineering disciplines while developing your own systems expertise;
• Contribute to Alstom’s mission to deliver greener, smarter and more connected transport solutions.

Here, progress isn’t always easy. The scale is massive and the challenges are complex, but the impact is real. When the system works, the train moves and communities connect. That feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.

Language

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.

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!

Important to note

As a global business, we’re an equal-opportunity employer that celebrates diversity across the 63 countries we operate in. We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace for everyone.
