Electrical Systems Engineer

Design the technology that powers the future of rail. Every train is a collection of complex systems working together seamlessly. As an Electrical Systems Engineer at Stadler, you'll help make that happen. This isn't a role where your work disappears into a drawing package or gets buried in endless meetings. You'll help design, integrate, test, and validate the electrical systems that bring modern passenger trains to life—from power distribution and vehicle controls to HVAC, lighting, passenger information systems, and onboard technology. 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.
