  • Leading the development of the train mechanical architecture, considering key parameters such as weight, gauge & kinematics, passenger capacity, accessibility, installation strategy, acoustics, eco-design, ergonomics, and aeraulics.
  • Reviewing and validating Train Design team activities to ensure alignment with QCD commitments.
  • Planning and managing all deliverables under your scope, ensuring compliance with internal processes and customer requirements.
  • Ensuring the quality of deliverables and obtaining customer acceptance within agreed timelines.
  • Identifying and resolving mechanical issues and technical challenges across multiple domains of the train.
  • Defining mitigation plans for risks identified during the mechanical design process.
  • Collaborating with the Train Design Métier Manager to drive continuous improvement and integrate lessons learned (Return of Experience).
  • Providing support to Sourcing, Industrialization, and Manufacturing teams during production ramp-up phases.

  • Strong sense of urgency and ability to prioritize.
  • Customer- and product-focused mindset.
  • Structured, organized, and hands-on approach.
  • Bilingual proficiency in French and English.
