They seem to operate most of the power delivery systems for Keolis/Ion, but that stuff isn’t manufactured here: https://www.mobility.siemens.com/ca/en/portfolio/references/powering-light-rail-expansion-in-kitchener-waterloo.html
I see some job postings for track maintenance in Waterloo..
This is pretty dull but they have a large operations management software business - think of a whole building connected to the network with centralized connections to HVAC and production machinery and all sorts of sensors. It’s big money but dull as hell. Their software teams are mostly in Oakville and do this BMS stuff and their cybersecurity services. The rail group also seems to work with Metrolinx.

Siemens has (had?) an office on Riverbend Drive through their Siemens Healthineers division (formerly Siemens Healthcare). I'm pretty sure that they may have arrived due to an acquisition, but I can't recall who it might have been.

That was Medicalis.

Siemens aquired Medicalis in 2017.
