  • Enhance reliability by implementing rigorous testing, validation, and fault-tolerant designs.
  • Champion innovation by introducing new technologies and methodologies to improve system efficiency.
  • Foster knowledge sharing through mentoring, documentation, and technical leadership within the team.
You'll work with sharp, committed teams solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility, ensuring seamless integration of business and technology.
 What You Bring
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in embedded software or embedded controls engineering, in complex electromechanical systems.
  • Strong hands-on experience in embedded software development using C/C++, including design, debugging, and maintenance of controller-based applications.
  • Experience ensuring full traceability between requirements, implementation, validation evidence.
  • Experience in laboratory validation environments, including development and maintenance of test benches and automation workflows using tools such as LabVIEW, NI software, MATLAB, or equivalent.
  • Ability to work across multiple engineering domains (software, controls, electrical, validation) to troubleshoot issues at system level (controller, communication, sensors, actuators, test benches)
 How Success Is Measured
  • Consistent achievement of project delivery timelines and strategic objectives.
  • Effective collaboration and leadership within multidisciplinary teams.
  • Reduction in software defects and increased operational efficiency through proactive troubleshooting.
 Alstom, A Great Place to Grow
  • Work with cutting-edge technology and contribute to Alstom's strategic vision for sustainable mobility.
  • Make a global impact from our Brampton office, connecting communities and cities.
  • Advance your career through continuous learning, training, and development opportunities.
