Job Description

In this project, Trial Operation Tests (TOT) are a mandatory step prior to Preliminary Take Over (PTO) and are conducted as simulated commercial operation without passengers, following a defined test program to ensure full functionality of each trainset.

Before the TOT phase, trains undergo an Internal Reliability Growth (IRG) phase, aimed at increasing system maturity and identifying early-life failures (“youth failures”).

Both IRG and TOT phases are performed at two railway test centers, one of them located in Făurei, Romania, where this position will be mainly based.

During these test phases, the Rail Test Engineer / Troubleshooter will carry out hands-on testing and troubleshooting activities on complete trainsets and subsystems, including but not limited to:

  • Functional tests

  • Endurance tests

  • Degraded mode tests

  • Burn-in tests

The role involves simulating real operational conditions, including train running, system activation, and repeated operating cycles, in order to assess performance, reliability, and robustness of train systems.

The Test Engineer will:

  • Carry out troubleshooting activities during pre-warranty, commissioning, and reliability testing phases

  • Investigate failures and support root cause analysis

  • Report and register all deviations, failures, and events in the Failure Management Database, including configuration data

  • Execute test and troubleshooting procedures to evaluate system performance

  • Support technical investigations led by engineering teams or internal/external suppliers

  • Ensure compliance with client and internal EHS, safety, and security rules

  • Ensure proper communication and information flow between teams and shifts

  • Contribute to Return of Experience (RoE) and continuous improvement activities

While the main working location is Făurei, occasional travel to other European countries (France, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic) may be required for testing support, training, or on-the-job learning.

Qualifications

  • Experience as a Test Engineer, Troubleshooter, or similar technical role in rolling stock, rail systems, or complex industrial environments

  • Experience with functional testing, commissioning, reliability testing, or maintenance/troubleshooting activities

  • Ability to perform hands-on technical investigations on electrical and electromechanical systems

  • Basic understanding of train subsystems (e.g. doors, HVAC, braking, power supply, passenger systems)

  • Ability to read and understand electrical schematics and technical documentation

  • Basic knowledge of electrical test equipment (e.g. multimeter)

  • Basic understanding of network concepts (IP address, LAN communication) used in modern train systems

  • Ability to follow structured test procedures and accurately report results

  • Strong analytical skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset

  • Ability to work in an international, multicultural environment

  • English proficiency is mandatory (spoken and written)

  • Danish or French is a plus

  • Willingness to work in Făurei and availability for occasional travel abroad
