Context

The assembly of train vehicles is done by connecting several cars through a coupling system.

This system is not just a mechanical link; it also enables pneumatic and electrical connections between the cars.

Your Future Role

As part of the Train Design Office, you will join the Digital pillar responsible for the business aspects related to Alstom's digital design tools: CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE, ENOVIA, etc.

We are looking for your contribution to speed up the design of couplers. You will develop a CATIA methodology and a tool to assist our designers in exploring technical solutions and automating certain tasks.

The developed methodology and tool will take into account the kinematics and clearances of the parts to define the best routes for the pneumatic hoses.

Your tasks will include:

• Proposing a CATIA methodology to identify solutions that optimize the lengths of hoses, their bending radii, and avoid interference with surrounding parts.
• Developing user stories to specify the application to be created.
• Coding a .NET application that integrates your methodology into the designer's tool and automates a portion of their tasks (exploration, verification, reporting).

Your Profile

You are an engineering student specializing in mechanics with an interest in digital fields (CAD, PLM, FEA).

You have:

• Experience with CATIA V5 or CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE.
• Programming experience (VBA, vb.NET, or C#) and knowledge of object-oriented programming.

You want to improve your mastery of advanced CATIA features.

You are curious and resourceful.

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
