Our Vision & Why It Matters 

At Alexander Dennis, our vision is to lead the evolution of sustainable on-road mass transportation and mobility.

You’ll investigate issues, capture learnings, and turn them into smarter on-board and off-board diagnostic features and tools. From developing fault codes and guided routines to working hands-on with vehicles and test rigs, you’ll play a key role in improving how our products are supported in the field.

Most importantly, you’ll have a genuine interest in vehicle technologies and a desire to make diagnostics better for the people who use them. 

Bonus if you have:  It’s a real advantage if you’ve worked directly on vehicle electrical systems, are familiar with V-model or structured development processes or have experience capturing engineering requirements.
