Could you be the full-time Traction Module Engineer in Västerås we’re looking for?
Your future role
The transformation towards sustainable mobility drives demand for railway capacity, and we have been the forefront of this journey for decades. To stay in this position, we need to recruit a Traction Module Engineer to our power module team.
The Gate drive unit (GDU) is at the heart of the electrical traction system and controls output voltage to the motors by the use of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). The GDU is vital for energy efficient and reliable transportation. The build-up of the GDU consists of dedicated hardware/electronics and FPGA firmware (VHDL). The implemented firmware constitutes of essential and core features concerning the control, supervision of the IGBT’s and communication to other embedded systems.
The Traction Module Engineer is engaged in all phases related to both the GDU and IGBT’s when it comes to; qualifications of the GDU logic (VHDL Firmware) in combination of IGBT’s, investigations as coming from R&D and delivery projects, executing dedicated tests in our IGBT lab as part of mandatory investigating and verifying key functionalities. The role includes also the ability to draw analytical and theoretical conclusions and actively contribute in the collaboration with other key roles as product owners, VHDL developers and architects.
Key aspect to role is also to be able to understand and master the GDU IGBT driving logic and potential adaptations needed with respect to the different properties of different IGBT’s.
The role will also give the possibilities to collaborate with other colleagues within the same technical domain on other sites within Alstom.
Take on a new challenge and develop your expertise within Alstom and work alongside passionate, motivated, and dedicated teammates.

Experience and the understanding of VHDL (very high description language) and electronic design, not mandatory but a very good merit to enable deeper and broader understanding of the Gate Drive Unit (GDU) application and logic.
Experience of working with industrial electronics and the ability and skills to perform minor HW(electronic) design changes/adaptations when needed
Knowledge about electronics (PCBA) manufacturing and its processes
Knowledge about testing, both in production and during development
Experience and knowledge to work in a HV (power)lab; test environment development; measuring devices, equipment, LabView, master relevant instruments(oscilloscopes, probes, sensors etc..) as used in the IGBT lab.
Extensive experience and knowledge of electronic device testing including the knowledge of analogue and digital design solutions
Good documentation and presentation skills.
Experience from similar designs, combination of GDU – IGBT control solutions, is considered an advantage.
Experience and knowledge of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT’s) and the logic to controlling and driving them.
Knowledge and experience of railway and safety standards, e.g. EN50155, EN50121-3-2 and 50657/50129 is beneficial
Swedish & English at a fluent level is mandatory for this role
