System Interface Engineer - ALTO project​/Cadence

SYSTRA Canada is part of the SYSTRA group, an international consulting and engineering group, a world leader in the design of transport infrastructures. SYSTRA Canada is an engineering and consulting firm whose primary focus is to offer transportation solutions, whether for passengers or goods: feasibility studies of building a new railway line, increasing the capacity of the existing infrastructure, privatization of a railway.

Join SYSTRA Canada in shaping the future of Canada with this impressive ALTO high-speed rail project connecting Quebec City to Toronto, the largest infrastructure project in Canada in generations.

The ALTO high-speed rail project aims to improve the quality of life of our citizens, strengthen ties between communities, and stimulate economic growth.

Are you convinced that a more sustainable world is possible and that mobility is an integral part of thinking about the future of our planet? Come aboard with SYSTRA Canada and be part of the project that will revolutionize the railway industry in Canada!

The System Interface Engineer is responsible for coordinating the management of internal interfaces across the project and ensuring that interface activities are planned, tracked, recorded, documented, and progressed in accordance with the Internal Interface Management Procedure.

The detailed responsibilities include:

• Lead the coordination of internal interface activities across the project in alignment with workstream priorities and delivery milestones.
• Own and maintain the Internal Interface Register, ensuring the quality, completeness, traceability, and reporting of interface data, responsibilities, actions, decisions, risks, and status across the interface lifecycle.
• Support the identification, assessment, and structuring of internal interfaces by working collaboratively with systems, design, and operational teams to clarify scope, boundaries, dependencies, criticality, and required interface deliverables.
• Facilitate collaboration and technical dialogue between interfacing parties and design teams by organizing interface meetings and workshops, supporting information exchange, and helping contributors reach alignment on cross-system issues.
• Ensure compliance with the Internal Interface Management Procedure and support the quality and timely progression of interface deliverables, including Internal Interface Specifications.
• Support the integration of interface information with system architecture, requirements management, change control, and MBSE-related activities, ensuring internal interface data is structured, consistent, and usable across engineering artefacts.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Professional engineering designation or eligibility for registration.
• Additional training or certification in systems engineering, interface management, or project delivery would be considered an asset.

Years of experience: Minimum 10 years of experience in systems engineering, interface management, design coordination, technical project integration, or a related role in a complex multidisciplinary environment.

Technical

Competencies:

• Good understanding of systems engineering principles and lifecycle processes, especially in relation to system definition, requirements management, coordination of technical interfaces, and configuration-controlled documentation.
• Detailed knowledge of at least two railway system interfaces which will allow to identify gaps, challenge and contribute to the Interface documentation being produced by the SMEs.
• Familiarity with systems engineering standards and frameworks such as ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288.
• Understanding of system architecture concepts, system boundaries, functional and physical interfaces, and system decomposition.
• Familiarity with MBSE principles and systems modelling approaches; experience with related tools would be an asset.
• Ability to apply structured and methodical engineering practices to support technical coordination, documentation consistency, and cross-functional alignment
• Clear verbal and written communication skills, both in French and in English*

* Reasons for requiring bilingualism:You will have the opportunity to work with a varied clientele, including both French- and English-speaking companies. Bilingualism is therefore fundamental to building strong relationships with our customers, understanding their specific needs, communicating effectively in their preferred…
