We are currently hiring a Systems Design Intern for a summer term position, at our Hitachi Rail office in North York or Burnaby.

Hitachi Rail provides signaling systems for metros and light rail systems. Our solutions provide efficient, safe, and green transportation solutions for people around the world.

As a Systems Design Intern, you will support the system engineering team for process and data collection and participate in design.

In addition, the design must meet all the safety, performance, functional and operational requirements. The team is also responsible for supporting the development and testing activities.

The incumbent is accountable for performing the design work correctly, within cost and schedule limits, as defined in approved work packages.
