Your future role

Take on a new challenge and leverage your software development expertise in a cutting-edge field. You will work with a collaborative, innovative, and multidisciplinary team, and directly contribute to the design and development of maintenance software for our high-speed trains, addressing testability and remote diagnostics needs.

On a daily basis, you will work closely with the engineering, electronics, and mechanical teams, while also interacting with project teams, clients, and suppliers. You will play a key role in needs analysis, software solution development, and validation.

We will be calling on you to:

• Write detailed design specifications (DDS) for the train maintenance equations.
• Analyze and understand electrical diagrams and associated control logic.

• Perform unit, integration and validation tests.
• Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the consistency of the proposed solutions.
• Ensure the monitoring of technical deliverables, planning and quality.

Your profile

We value passion and mindset more than experience. That's why we don't expect you to have every skill set. Instead, we've compiled a list of those we believe will help you succeed and thrive in this role:

• Engineering degree in electrical engineering, software engineering or a related field.
• Experience or understanding of electrical and software design, ideally in the railway sector.
• Knowledge of automation tools, particularly ControlBuild.
• Familiarity with the PC COSIM tool for simulation and analysis.
• Communication skills to collaborate effectively with project teams, clients and suppliers.
• Technical English (essential in international projects).
• Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team (electronics, software, mechanics).
• Technical project management, including monitoring deliverables and schedules.

What you'll enjoy: Join us for a new life experience – the rail sector is a sector of the future, so you can develop and gain new skills and experiences throughout your career. You'll also be able to:

• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career without daily routine.
• Working with passionate, committed teams who are experts in their field.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams and qualified colleagues.
• Contribute to innovative projects that have a direct impact on sustainable mobility.
• Utilize our flexible work environment, combining autonomy and collaboration.
• Orient your career in the direction of your choice through functions and countries.
• Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning programs.
• Progress towards leadership or technical expertise roles according to your aspirations.
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic compensation system that recognizes your performance and potential, as well as comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life insurance, health insurance, pension).

You don't need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you board one of our trains with your friends or family, you'll be proud. If you're ready for the challenge, we'd love to meet you!
