Leading DFQ lifecycle activities for braking systems, including requirements capture, system architecture, detailed design, verification, and validation
Contributing to bid and tender phases by defining braking system solutions adapted to customer requirements and performing technical assessments
Developing and validating brake system concepts and architectures while ensuring compliance with railway and Alstom standards
Managing interfaces with other subsystems
Supporting in‑service fleet issues and contributing to root cause analysis and continuous improvement actions
Providing expertise to optimise performance and reliability of braking systems
All About You
Engineering degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Railway Engineering
Proven experience in brake systems engineering or related railway subsystems
Strong expertise in Design For Quality (DFQ) processes across the full lifecycle
Knowledge of railway braking systems (pneumatic, electro‑pneumatic, dynamic braking) and relevant standards (EN, UIC, safety regulations)
Experience in bid phase, system design, validation, and commissioning
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
Ability to work effectively in a multi‑disciplinary and international environment
Fluency in English; proficiency in French and/or German is required
Things you’ll enjoy
Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long‑term career free from boring daily routines
Work with new safety and performance standards for railway braking systems
Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues

Benefit from our investment in your development, through award‑winning learning
Progress towards senior engineering or project leadership roles
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!
