The Opportunity – Build the Future with Us

As an Intermediate Systems Integration Engineer in our Rail & Transit team, you’ll play a critical role in delivering a major urban rail extension in the Greater Toronto Area. Working from our Toronto office or a project office, you’ll help integrate new-build systems with existing operational transit infrastructure—ensuring safe, reliable, and seamless service from design through revenue operations.

Reporting to the Manager/Director, you’ll collaborate with Chief Engineers, Designers, Project Managers, Analysts, and third‑party stakeholders across multiple rail and transit disciplines. This role sits at the heart of a progressive design‑build delivery model, supporting integration, verification, and validation milestones that bring complex transit systems to life.

Your Impact

  • Lead systems integration activities across signaling, communications, traction power, SCADA, and control center systems
  • Develop and maintain system architectures, functional analyses, and integration strategies across the full engineering lifecycle
  • Define and manage interfaces through Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Interface Definition Documents (IDDs), and traceability artifacts
  • Coordinate and facilitate interface resolution workshops with designers, contractors, vendors, and operators
  • Align integration and verification activities with project stage gates and design‑build milestones
  • Support validation and verification planning to ensure compliance, interoperability, and performance
  • Engage directly with clients to resolve technical issues and align expectations
  • Mentor junior staff and contribute to a collaborative, high‑performing project team

The Skills That Set You Apart

  • Bachelor’s degree in Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline
  • Registered as an Engineer‑in‑Training (EIT) or licensed P.Eng. in Canada
  • INCOSE Certification such as ASEP or CSEP would be an asset
  • 5+ years of experience in rail, transit, or other safety‑critical engineering environments
  • Strong grounding in systems engineering principles, including the V‑model and lifecycle management
  • Experience with systems integration on complex, multi‑disciplinary infrastructure projects
  • Working knowledge of ISO/IEC 15288 and IEEE 1220 systems engineering standards
  • Exposure to verification & validation activities (FAT, SAT, SIT, test planning)
  • Knowledge of CENELEC standards and Metrolinx Schedule 29 is an asset
  • Familiarity with Requirements Management and Integration using tools like IBM DOORS
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines and communicate complex technical concepts clearly
