Control 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. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

If our organization, the railway industry, and our projects appeal to you, we have a position that might interest you.

As a Control Engineer within the Train Control team, you are responsible for the control engineering activities for one or more vehicle functions, from architecture to detailed specifications, interfaces, and principle schematics.

You have developed strong knowledge and skills in systems engineering in the railway or transportation sector. You also possess good understanding of network topologies and communication interfaces (serial, Ethernet, MVB, and others). If this describes you, you are our ideal candidate.

This position, based at our St‑Bruno site on the South Shore of Montreal, is a permanent full‑time role (40 hours/week). You must be able to work in an international, multi‑site, matrixed organization. This is a hybrid work environment – 3 days on site. Occasional travel to other locations (QC, ON, US) should be expected.

• Define and implement functional, performance, transversal, and train‑level system requirements
• Define system interfaces and support system integration
• Conduct system verification activities (with a focus on train‑level and TCMS), including design reviews
• Manage system change and configuration processes
• Control design changes, including impact analysis
• Plan and monitor all system‑related activities
• Strictly adhere to established processes, methods, and tools associated with these activities

• Provide technical leadership and drive methodological and proactive change
• Serve as a reference for obligations/constraints related to Train Control
• Meet established quality, productivity, and internal/external customer satisfaction standards
• Contribute to continuous improvement projects and lessons‑learned (REX) initiatives from previous projects

We value passion and personality just as much as experience. To thrive and reach your goals in this role, the following elements are essential:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering: automation, automated production, electrical, electrotechnical, or another relevant field
• Understanding of systems engineering processes
• Knowledge of network topologies and communication interfaces (serial, Ethernet, MVB, etc.)
• Knowledge or experience in design and development using model‑based design tools such as Matlab/Simulink, Control Build, etc.
• Proficiency with computer tools (Microsoft Suite, ERP‑SAP‑SharePoint)
• Strong command of French and functional proficiency in English
• Membership in the OIQ (asset)

• Working daily in an innovative project environment where team health, safety, and wellbeing are top priorities
• Competitive compensation including comprehensive benefits coverage (life, medical, retirement) starting on day one
• Opportunities to develop new skills and reach your full potential through continuous training
• Career opportunities aligned with your ambitions

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
