  • Working closely with RAM, Safety, Cybersecurity, Software, and V&V teams

You hold a Master’s degree in Engineering (Electronics, Automation, Systems, Computer Science or similar) and are interested in complex, regulated environments.

Must Have

  • Strong analytical skills and ability to understand complex technical systems
  • Experience or strong interest in railway, aerospace, defense, or safety-critical systems
  • Ability to translate customer needs into structured system requirements
  • Fluency in English and French
  • Rigorous, reliable, proactive mindset with strong communication skills

Nice to Have
