About The Position

Build America’s next chapter in high‑speed rail For more than 160 years, Siemens has helped move people and goods across the United States.

As a Mechanical Assembler, you’ll bring engineering drawings to life—one pneumatic line, bracket, and fastener at a time. A day in the life You arrive, gear up with PPE, and review your build plan: drawings, bills of materials, and work instructions. You stage components, verify specs, and begin assembling mechanical and pneumatic systems. By mid‑morning you’re routing stainless-steel tubing and securing fittings; after lunch you’re clocking labor hours, updating quality documentation, and walking a teammate through a tricky assembly technique. You finish the shift by checking your work against standards and preparing the next station to keep production on schedule.
