Train Lab Engineer

Train Lab Engineer

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry.

They contributes to Train Lab preparation and operation:

• Secure Train Lab readiness:
  Hardware installation, integration and commissioning.
• Prepares Train Lab configuration for test execution.
• Supports test teams during test execution ensuring availability of the functional test means.
• Execute train level functional test by delegation from TVE when applicable.

Scope is extended to other functional test means:
Co-simulation computers and TCMS Testbench.
