You'll work alongside experienced engineers, collaborate with global teams, and see your designs move from concept to reality on vehicles that will serve communities across North America for decades. Whether your background is in rail, aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial automation, energy, or another complex technical industry, this is an opportunity to apply your engineering skills to something tangible, visible, and impactful.
