Junior Network Control Engineer Internship - Rail Electrification (Summer 2026)

Siemens Mobility US is looking for aspiring Junior Network Control Engineer for Rail Electrification Department to come aboard for an 8-12-week internship journey where they will get exposure to what happens behind the scenes to make the rail world go round.

During your summer journey with us, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the Network Control Department where you will learn how to work with others to design and develop software for Traction Power Substations that deliver power to railway networks, directly enabling train operations across multiple lines and in different projects across North America.

If you are a rising junior or senior pursuing an undergraduate degree, live near Wilsonville, OR, and are ready to discover the amazing opportunities that the rail industry has to offer then look no further.

A little bit about us

Siemens Mobility provides efficient and coordinated transportation of people and goods by rail - including rolling stock, rail automation, rail electrification, and service. We craft and manufacture across the entire spectrum of rolling stock, including commuter and regional passenger trains, light rail and streetcars, metros, locomotives, passenger coaches, and high-speed trainsets. Cities and Railroads also rely on us to provide traction-power substations and electricity transmission, as well as signaling and control technology for freight and passenger rail and transit systems.

How does Network Control Department play into the big picture?

The Network Control Department specializes in developing software for Traction Power Substations that interfaces with PLCs, HMIs, I / O signals, network switches, protection relays, and SCADA systems. We collaborate with Systems, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineers to create solutions that maintain reliable power for railway operations while implementing critical safety protocols to prevent electrical faults and short circuits that could compromise train functionality or public safety. Additionally, we interact with the Verification and Validation Engineer to ensure the safe operation and proper behavior of the equipment the software was designed for.

What you will do...

• Learn about our standard processes
• Work with Project Managers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, System Engineers, Requirements Managers, Software & System Verification Engineers, and other Network Control Engineers to learn about the software development process (including documentation, software implementation, and testing efforts) through shadowing and the assignment of relevant tasks to build up your practical knowledge.
• Interface with different areas of the Onboard Engineering department and learn about how collaboration drives success.
• Gain insight into the Network Control Engineering essentials related to activities such as software design (including requirements definition), software project documentation, software development, and software verification activities.
