Railcar Electro-Mechanical Subassembly Technician
About The Position
Railcar Electro-Mechanical Subassembly Technician Pioneering in America, from the first mile to the last. This is what drives us. For more than 160 years, Siemens has fueled U.S. infrastructure, electrification, and mobility. Today, Siemens Mobility’s Rolling Stock team in Lexington, NC leads North America in building passenger coaches, locomotives, and light rail vehicles. By pairing automation with digitalization, we transform rail—elevating safety, reliability, punctuality, and sustainability while reducing lifecycle costs. A day in this role Imagine starting your morning on a modern production line where each task contributes to the next generation of passenger rail.

Run, terminate, and secure wiring: connect components, terminals, and contact points; measure and cut to length; route, twist, wrap, tie, and attach to specified terminal points. Perform rework cycles as needed—disassemble, modify, refurbish, and reassemble to meet exacting standards. Translate technical information into action using production blueprints, wiring diagrams, parts and wire lists, sketches, and verbal instructions to create electrical and electro-mechanical subassemblies. Apply excellent fine-motor dexterity to handle and assemble small parts accurately. Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 5:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
