We’ll look to you for:

• Comparing the technical solution with existing products on the market

• Developing an innovative system for a high-frequency optical sensor installed on trains

• Setting up a testing procedure

• Conducting laboratory tests

• 3D modeling of the complete solution

• Ensuring compliance with design standards (e.g., welding rules, safety norms)

• Requesting quotes and researching potential suppliers

• Collaborating with internal teams to optimize proposed solutions

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 pursuing a Master’s degree (specialization in mechanical engineering or a related field)

• Experience or understanding of mechanical construction, design, and manufacturing

• Knowledge of design and safety standards

• Familiarity with 3D modeling

• Ability to work in a team and collaborate effectively

• Project management or organizational skills

• Curiosity and an innovative mindset

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:
