About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Engineer to join our team at Alstom. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be responsible for managing and coordinating mechanical domain activities on various projects, ensuring compliance with quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) commitments.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage and coordinate mechanical domain activities, including planning, piloting, and delivering mechanical domain deliverables.
  • Ensure mechanical domain deliverables meet quality and acceptance standards, and are delivered within committed limits.
  • Report on mechanical domain activities progress and alert relevant stakeholders in case of issues impacting QCD commitments.
  • Define requirements and mechanical interfaces to equipment, and monitor assigned mechanical sub-system deliveries for conformity with project needs.
  • Apply train design rules, processes, and tools, and ensure mechanical domain deliverables meet quality and acceptance standards.
  • Manage production of deliverables in accordance with planning targets on mechanical domain assigned work packages.
  • Design products taking into account project requirements, including performances, manufacturability, serviceability, testability, etc.
  • Prepare and document mechanical domain design reviews, and follow up on main open actions.
  • Check respect of allocated volumes/interfaces on internal design, and resolve project mechanical issues.
  • Define mitigation plans covering risks identified on project mechanical domain scope.
  • Report on mechanical domain activities progress, anticipate issues, and alert if needed.
  • Respect and/or allocate requirements and mechanical interfaces to sub-systems/equipment.
  • Coordinate mechanical domain contributors on project.
  • Analyze and consolidate change request impacts on mechanical domain scope.
  • Produce mechanical domain deliverables, including RSAD L2 (Requirements), Validation Plan, etc.
  • Validate relevant mechanical domain deliverables and secure planning.
  • Verify design via mock-ups or simulations.
  • Define mitigation plans covering risks identified on project mechanical (multi-domains).
  • Perform quotation of engineering work package, upon request.
  • Define project mechanical decomposition (project breakdown structure (PBS)).
  • Define mechanical project/product preferred part list (3PL) delivery.
  • Support sourcing, industrialization, and manufacturing teams during production ramp-up.
  • Collaborate with domain lead for continuous improvement of the domain (including return on experience (RoE)).
  • Define mechanical domain architecture taking into account weight, gauge, installation strategy, acoustics, eco design, ergonomics, aerodynamics, aeraulics, etc.
  • Establish certification and validation plans for train design scope.
  • Check availability on time of work package input data and escalate if necessary.
  • Check supplier's and sub-contractor's design quality.
