Internship engineer for the improvement of the perfomances of Urban Signalling Systems

Saint-Ouen-Sur-Seine (93)

The team you will be joining comprises 5 members and is responsible for simulating the performance of metro systems (estimating journey times, intervals between trains, ....).

The tasks you will be given :

After an integration and internal training stage, and while being integrated into the performance simulation team, of the D&IS (Digital & Integrated Systems) entity, you will be tasked with:
- Understand the internal metro performance simulation tool, used to create metro speed profiles, estimate journey times, intervals between trains, etc.
- Study the energy consumption of metros:
   o Analysing existing literature on metro energy consumption (engine consumption, energy recovery, etc.)
   o Make an inventory of the solutions developed within Alstom (exploration with the Rolling Stock and Tools teams, etc.)
   o Design and implement a realistic energy consumption model
- Mathematically analyse the profiles generated by the tool
   o Analyse polynomial interpolation methods (e.g. Lagrange interpolation, etc.)
   o Implement a computer routine (in Matlab) calculating speed and acceleration polynomials along predefined trajectories from points entered manually and/or automatically.
- Participating in the development of the Human-Machine Interface (enabling the use of the polynomial interpolation routine, improving the display, etc.)
- Work on other cross-functional continuous improvement topics

These tasks will evolve throughout your placement with us. Regular monitoring will also be set up with your internship supervisor to enable you to take on more responsibilities.

The profile we are re looking for :

- You have 5 years' higher education and are a student at a general engineering school looking for an internship lasting no more than 6 months.
- You have an inquisitive mind and an interest in mathematics and physical calculations.
- During your training, you will be introduced to in-house tools and you will have a good command of a computer language (Matlab, Python, etc.)
- You enjoy working in a team and are dynamic and rigorous
- You are recognised for your ability to communicate, your autonomy and your ability to take the initiative
- You have a perfect command of French (both written and spoken). A B2 level in English is required.

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!
