Rail Propulsion Systems Service Technician

Keep America Moving—One Motor at a Time

For more than a century and a half, Siemens Mobility has supported the backbone of U.S. infrastructure. At our MO CP Factory Service Center in Alpharetta, GA, we maintain the rail equipment that keeps cities connected and freight on schedule. If you thrive on precision, safety, and hands-on problem solving, you’ll feel right at home here.

A day in the life

You start your shift reviewing inbound units: carefully inspecting rail motors and gears, documenting every finding, and planning repairs. You’ll set up jigs, operate cranes and lifting devices, interpret schematics, mechanical drawings, diagrams, assembly procedures, work orders, and BOMs, then dive into mechanical disassembly and reassembly. After repairs, you run documented tests—often in a high-voltage environment—to verify tolerances and quality standards. Throughout the day, you log hours and parts usage, write thorough failure reports (with photos when needed), and champion our Zero Harm safety culture. On some weeks, you’ll head into the field, supporting customers on-site (10–15% travel).
