Job Description:

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

Could you be the full-time Electrical Engineer for Traction System Engineering (f/m/d) we’re looking for?

Your Future Role

140 years of Swiss railway history meet modern solutions for green mobility in Zurich. With 300 colleagues, our Zurich site serves as a global competence center for high-performance traction technology and a development hub for locomotives, bogies, mechanical and electrical systems, as well as services for the local and global markets. Our product line Rolling Stock & Components offers products from the broadest portfolio in the rail industry. Our innovation focus is on green and smart solutions, including emission-free propulsion systems such as batteries and hydrogen. You’ll report to SCHMID Reto, Traction System Domain Leader and work alongside a dedicated and enthusiastic team.

We’ll look for you to:

  1. Electrical design of complete traction system solutions for Locomotives, Commuters, and High-Speed Trains, including the related documentation (e.g., electrical circuit diagrams and operation manuals).
  2. Contribution to the development of future standard Traction Systems.
  3. Special Engineering tasks to optimize performance, energy efficiency, and safety of propulsion systems (e.g., line interference current calculations).
  4. Concept evaluation for Traction Systems and its components in close cooperation with the other teams (Converter Electrical and Mechanical Engineering).
  5. Specifications of Traction System and High Voltage main components.

All About You

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s 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:

  1. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  2. Ideally 3-5 years of experience in the railway, rolling stock, or traction technology sectors, specifically in development or project engineering.
  3. Proficiency in traction system design and/or power electronics for converter systems.
  4. Experience in project management, with familiarity in MS Office, ECAD, and tools such as MATLAB, Simplorer, or LabVIEW.
  5. Fluency in both written and spoken German and English.

Things You’ll Enjoy

Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

  1. Experience a dynamic work environment with a permanent position at a leading company for green mobility.
  2. Enjoy a competitive remuneration package and benefits such as company pension plans and discounted tickets for public transport (e.g., ZVV Bonuspass).
  3. Optimize work-life balance with flexible working hours and hybrid working models.
  4. Explore growth opportunities and steer your career across functions and countries.
  5. Benefit from excellent training opportunities through our award-winning Alstom University and participate in the company's innovation culture through idea management programmes.
  6. Thrive in a modern and collaborative workplace featuring mentor and buddy programs, diversity & inclusion initiatives, CSR activities, and engaging employee events.

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

As an employer, Alstom stands for equal opportunities. By creating an inclusive work environment where all employees are encouraged to realise their full potential, individual differences are valued and respected. All applicants are considered solely on the basis of their qualifications, regardless of skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ethnic and national origin, disability or other legally protected characteristics.
