Alstom is the UK & Ireland’s leading supplier of new trains and train services, and a leading signalling and rail infrastructure provider. Alstom have built, or are building, just under 40% of the UK mainline train fleet; as well as the entire fleets in service with London Underground and Dublin Luas.
We provide the widest range of smart solutions in the rail market, from innovative high-speed rolling stock, metros and trams to maintenance, modernisation, infrastructure and signalling.
Employing 6000 people, we design and build trains at Derby, the UK’s largest train factory; and operate major sites at Widnes, Crewe, Ilford and Plymouth, and 30 train services depots across the UK and Ireland.
Your future role
Take on a new challenge and apply your engineering expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and innovative teammates.
You'll play a key role in delivering the subsystem documentation, including-Requirement Specification and Architecture Description (RSAD), Technical Purchase Specification (TPS), and Interface Control Document (ICD).
Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (sourcing, suppliers, S&A Engineers, Interior Engineers, (Reliability,Availability & Maintainability)RAMS Engineers, and Validation Engineers), define and implement functional, performance, transverse, and train-level requirements for the dedicated subsystem, and much more."
We’ll look to you for:
• Integrating the subsystem (PIS-passeneger information system),(CCTV-closed circuit televion) & (DOO- driver only operation) into the train, covering all aspects of the V-cycle.
• Defining the interface for the dedicated subsystem.
• Verifying the subsystem (focus on train level), including design reviews.
• Managing the change and configuration management process for the subsystem on train level.
• Controlling changes after design changes, including impact analysis.
• Planning and following up on all activities linked to the subsystem.
• Supporting sourcing, suppliers, S&A Engineers, Interior Engineers, RAMS Engineers, and Test & Validation Engineers.
• Responsible for system related documentation, including test specifications and validation reports.
• Providing inputs to the engineering team, sourcing, suppliers.
• Ensuring the subsystem is seamlessly integrated into the overall train system.
• Conducting investigation for in-service issues/failures.
• Driving collaboration and communication across multidisciplinary teams.
All about you
We value passion and attitude over experience. That is why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:
• Degree in Engineering, Electronics Engineering Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience or understanding of subsystem integration in complex systems, including mechanical and electrical interfaces.
• Knowledge of system requirements definition and management, as well as technical documentation (e.g., Requirement Specification and Architecture Description RSAD, Technical Purchase Specification TPS, Interface Control Document ICD).
• Familiarity with configuration management and change management processes.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams such as sourcing, suppliers, and validation engineers.
• Ability to perform impact analysis and manage design changes effectively.
• Problem-solving mindset with the ability to address technical challenges in a structured way.
• Organisational skills to plan and follow up on multiple activities and deadlines.
• Adaptability to work in a dynamic environment with evolving requirements.
• Commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
