Position: Sr. Engineer - Rail Operations & Maintenance - will relocate

Keep an airport moving. As the APM (Rail) Systems Engineer, you'll be the go-to technical owner for electro-mechanical systems that move thousands of passengers daily. You'll troubleshoot complex faults, drive reliability improvements, and turn findings into fixes, trainings, and updated procedures.

  • First Shift
  • 91-134K base, based on experience and degree
  • 5% bonus
  • relocation assistance
Operations and Maintenance Engineer What you'll do
  • Own the technical health of APM systems. Lead resolution of complex electro-mechanical issues; record all activities in the MMIS; ensure PMs hit schedule and spec.
  • Troubleshoot & restore. Diagnose faults, identify root causes, develop repair plans, and communicate clear next steps to technicians and supervisors.
  • Drive reliability. Perform failure/root-cause analysis; trend disruptions; recommend changes that reduce recurrence and improve time-to-restore.
  • Elevate documentation. Coordinate with the engineering team on drawing/SOP changes; make sure updates are consistent and adopted.
  • Teach and mentor. Deliver targeted technical training; create one-pagers/checklists; communicate procedure changes to techs and leads.
  • Work from the schematics. Trace and interpret complex electrical/signal processing diagrams; use precision instruments to verify to spec.
  • Step up when needed. Provide backup supervision when the Shift Supervisor/Manager is out.
What success looks like (first 6-12 months)
  • PM compliance at or above target; clean MMIS work orders with verification notes/photos
  • Measurable reduction in repeat faults on assigned subsystems
  • Updated drawings/SOPs accepted by both shifts
  • Techs trained and signed off on at least two high-value procedures
What you'll bring
  • BS in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering (accredited) OR years of relevant hands on experience
  • 3-5 years in electro-mechanical systems
  • Strong troubleshooting ability; comfort with complex schematics
  • Hands-on with precision tools (micrometers, oscilloscopes, analyzers, calipers), hand/power tools, and MMIS software
  • Clear communicator who can translate technical detail into action for technicians and leaders
Backgrounds We're Excited to Consider

While direct APM or rail/transit experience is a plus, this role is a strong fit for electro-mechanical engineers from a wide range of highly regulated, safety-critical industries, including:

  • Rail, transit, and people-mover systems
  • Aviation and aviation ground support
  • Aerospace and defense
  • Transportation and maritime
  • Automated Material handling and conveyor systems
  • OR SIMILIAR
Nice to have
  • APM/rail transit experience; familiarity with PLC/SCADA; reliability engineering or RCA methods
Requirements
  • Valid driver's license with satisfactory record
  • Able to obtain/maintain airport security clearance
  • Post-offer background check, drug/alcohol test, physical, and Ishihara (red/green) color test
  • Fluent in spoken and written English
Tools & tech you'll use

MMIS (Maintenance Management Information System), standard office apps, precision measuring tools, oscilloscopes/analyzers, hand/power tools.

Physical & work environment
  • Regularly: use hands, reach, climb/balance, stoop/kneel/crouch/crawl; stand/walk; talk/hear
  • Occasionally: sit; lift/move up to 25 lbs frequently and 50 lbs with help occasionally
  • Environment: active rail/industrial setting with moving parts and live systems; exposure to humidity, temperature extremes (non-weather), and electrical risk; PPE and safety procedures required
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Great coverage:
    Medical, dental, and vision plans that support you and your family.
  • Future-ready: 401(k) with company match to help you build long-term wealth.
  • Company-paid protection:
    Short- and long-term disability, plus life insurance and AD&D.
  • Real time off:
    Vacation, sick, and personal days plus 11 paid holidays.
