• Interpret system requirements, engineering documentation, design reviews, and contract deliverables to ensure mechanical, electrical, and software interfaces are properly integrated.
• Coordinate with North American and European engineering teams, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to implement engineering changes and improve quality, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship, share best practices, promote accountability and innovation, and some travel to customer, supplier, and Siemens locations.

• Experience designing, integrating, or supporting complex electromechanical systems, including using 3D CAD software—preferably PTC Creo—and interpreting electrical schematics and technical drawings.
• Experience supporting manufacturing, production engineering, or industrial environments, with strong problem-solving skills to resolve technical challenges on the manufacturing floor.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to diverse audiences and manage multiple priorities across schedule, quality, and cost objectives.
• Preferred: experience in rail or similar engineered-product industries, systems integration, manufacturing, product launches, global teams or suppliers, relevant subsystems and standards, or a PE license.

Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without needing current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.

Purpose is the reason a company exists. It's not about making money or selling products - it's the deeper "why" behind everything we do. It answers the question: What problem are we solving? What positive change are we creating?

For Siemens, our purpose has been clear for over 175 years: We create technology to transform the everyday, for everyone.

The world needs technologies that work. Technologies that matter. Technologies that solve today's challenges and help shape a better tomorrow. And that's exactly what we build. By bringing together the real world (factories, buildings, power grids, trains) with the digital world (software, data, AI, digital twins), we help our customers become more competitive, resilient, and sustainable.

Our technology is everywhere - in trains and transportation, we help move people faster, safer, and more sustainably.
