Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your engineering expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside innovative and collaborative teammates.

You'll play a key role in developing an analytical tool to predict diphasic propane (C₃H₈) dispersion resulting from potential leaks in the HVAC systems of a train. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business, including project engineers and research specialists, to conduct literature reviews, analyze data, and develop advanced models, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of integrating analytical models into tools like Dymola, Python, Matlab, or Simulink, but also validating these tools against experimental data.

We’ll look to you for:

• Reviewing literature on propane diphasic dispersion (modeling and experimental data)

• Familiarizing yourself with the selected and validated analytical model

• Collecting test results from an Alstom project on propane diphasic dispersion

• Integrating the analytical model into an analytical tool

• Validating the propane dispersion tool using an experimental database

• Writing a user guide, documentation for the model and its validation, and an internship report

All about you

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:

• Currently enrolled in the final year of an engineering school (second or third year) or a Master’s program specializing in mechanics and energy (fluid mechanics)

• Experience or understanding of analytical modeling and fluid mechanics

• Knowledge of diphasic dispersion and enthalpy exchanges

• Familiarity with tools such as Python, Matlab, Simulink, or Dymola

• A strong analytical mindset

• Good communication and technical writing skills

• Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment

Things you’ll enjoy Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career free from boring daily routines

• Work with new security standards for rail signalling

• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues

• Contribute to innovative projects

• Utilise our flexible 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

• Progress towards exciting career opportunities in the rail industry

• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension)

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!
