*Candidates who are recent graduates with internship experience are also encouraged to apply.
Your future role
Take on a new challenge and apply your manufacturing and process engineering expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You'll play a crucial role in defining and validating detailed manufacturing processes for new products, creating industrial documentation, and driving continuous improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency and quality. Day-to-day, you'll work closely with teams across the business (such as Process Engineers, Product Design teams, and Quality Assurance), lead the industrialization of retrofit processes following engineering changes, and ensure optimal EHS and ergonomic conditions-and much more.
We'll look to you for:
  • Contributing ideas to the Process Engineer or PIM to enhance product manufacturability and meet QCD (Quality, Cost, Delivery) targets,
  • Participating in product design reviews as necessary,
  • Collaborating on Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (P-FMEA) and validating prototypes,
  • Requesting tooling as needed and writing detailed tooling specifications,
  • Ensuring optimal EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) and ergonomic conditions,
  • Performing task sequencing for workstations and calculating accurate method times,
  • Industrializing retrofit processes following engineering changes to include routings, work instructions, and tooling,
  • Leading continuous process improvement initiatives,
  • Acting as a champion for Alstom Performance System (APSYS),
  • Developing and managing ERP routings and work/inspection instructions.

All about you

  • Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Process, Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering,
  • Candidates may include new graduates with internships or up to ~5 years of hands-on experience.
  • Experience or understanding of manufacturing processes and methods,
  • Preferred experience in a manufacturing or assembly environment (electrical/mechanical assembly work is especially relevant).
  • Demonstrated ability or exposure to process documentation and improvement,
  • Familiarity with Quality, EHS standards, and Ergonomics,
  • Strong communication skills in English (verbal and written),
  • Technical knowledge of Manufacturing Engineering, including writing manufacturing work instructions and line balancing,
  • Familiarity with Process FMEA and QRQC (Quick Response Quality Control),
  • Experience with time analysis methodologies (e.g., MTM, MEK, UAS),
  • Ability to contribute to continuous improvement initiatives,
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 10% for work.

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:
