At Alstom, we build what millions depend on daily - rail transportation systems that can’t afford to fail. We’re more than 85,000 people worldwide creating the industry’s most diverse portfolio: high-speed trains, metros, trams, maintenance services and integrated systems.

More than a job: a mission

We’re looking for a Software V&V Team Leader to drive verification, validation and testing activities across complex signalling and software programs. This is high-impact engineering – ensuring safety, quality, and reliability in critical rail infrastructure.

You’ll work alongside people who show up with ownership, passion, and dedication - because they know what’s at stake: the journey home.

Your role, your impact

• Drive the transition from manual to automated testing (Cucumber, JMeter, Postman, TestComplete)
  
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (Security Signalling, Product Architecture, Development Centers)
  
• Manage configuration, change control and requirement traceability
  
• Oversee test execution, reporting, risks and issue management
  
• Define and follow up test environments, test benches and analysis tools
  
• Represent Alstom towards customers, providing visibility on V&V progress and risks
  
• Lead the V&V team and manage subcontractors and work packages
  
• Ensure independence between verification and design activities
  

You’ll work with sharp, committed teams across engineering, system, and security domains - solving complex challenges that shape the future of mobility.

What you bring

• 
  
• Experience in verification & validation, testing, integration or system engineering
  
• Strong knowledge of test automation strategies and tools (e.g. Cucumber, JMeter, Postman)
  
• Understanding of Agile, CI/CD environments and software development lifecycle
  
• Knowledge of integrated systems (CCTV, PA, PIS, communications, control centers)
  
• Experience with Azure DevOps or similar tools for requirements and test management
  
• Engineering background with analytical and problem-solving skills
  
• Fluency in English and Spanish (French is a plus)
  
• Leadership mindset, autonomy and strong communication skills
  
• Experience in regulated industries (railway signalling, aerospace, defence, nuclear) is a plus
  

How success is measured

• 
  
• Delivery Quality Indicator (DQI)
  
• Coverage Progress Indicator (CPI)
  
• Defect Non-Detection Rate (DNDR)
  
• Contribution to root cause analysis and continuous improvement
  
• Team performance and delivery reliability
  

Alstom, a great place to grow

• 
  
• Enjoy stability, challenges and a long-term career free from boring daily routines
  
• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues
  
• Contribute to innovative projects
  
• Utilise our cooperative working environment
  
• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries
  
• Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning
  
• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage
  

Here, progress isn’t always easy - the scale is massive, the tasks are complex - but the impact is real. xcskxlj Because when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects - that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
