Train Architecte Manager

Overview

• Applicable to both Project & Tender: Managing the definition of train physical architecture
• Ensuring conformity to project requirements including platform/product assets
• Ensuring convergence with train aesthetical definition
• Applicable to Project only: Specifying physical constraints and mechanical transversal performances to SSG
• Controlling the SSG development convergence towards related specifications
• Ensuring train level validation and certification
• Applicable to Tender only: Producing internal & customer tender deliverables and piloting complete mechanical MLE

Performance Measurement / KPI

• The added value of work result and its re-usability for other developments: Physical architecture = best balance between customer requirements, platform requirements (incl. carry over level), métier technical policy and cost target
• Physical architecture performance (diversity, number of passengers, train weight per passenger, …)
• Digital mock-up up to date and compliance to métier rules
• Management: decision and dashboard up to date (including visibility of stress on transversal performances and volume allocation), anticipative animation (define consistent direction rather than arbitrates according to tasks results)
• Activities & deliverables: clarity and consistency of specification with respect to SBS; completion of intermediate BOMs

Responsibilities

Accountable for

• Managing train architecture (definition, verification, validation & certification)
• Train layouts & general studies (gauge and kinematics, weight management...)
• Mechanical transversal performance
• Aesthetical definition of the train including convergence with customer and internal partners (A&CD, CDSi)
• Related physical mock-up and simulations
• Related work package management
• Managing perceived quality
• Managing tolerancing
• Project only: Specifying resulting constraints to SSG, piloting convergence considering SSG constraints, consolidating design
• Ensuring corrective actions after FMR and type test, up to end of warranty
• Tender only: Leading mechanical development team
• Tender only: Leading hand over to project team or contributing to tender memorandum
• Tender only: Supporting tender costing (with TD Costing Tool)

Responsible for

• Controlling the physical architecture governance
• Piloting layout definition and mechanical transversal performance activities
• Defining physical architecture as the best balance between customer requirements, platform requirements (incl. carry over level), métier technical policy and cost constraints
• Managing directly main layouts considering relevant constraints (lighting, passenger flow, corrosion, ...)
• Animating Project Preferred Parts List
• Animating physical architecture and train level digital mock up reviews

Qualifications

Technical:

• Detailed train mechanical architecture including knowledge on:
• Mechanical integration
• 3D mock-up with CATIA
• Ability to share vision and strategy with all development stakeholders (other domains inside and outside engineering)
• Development process and governance knowledge
• General knowledge of project management (quality, cost, delay)

Behavioral:

• Rigorous and organized with hands-on approach
• Sense of urgency / Priority
• Time management and reporting skills
• Multidisciplinary team management and animation
• Good communication and interpersonal skills including with third parties (customer satisfaction oriented)
• Resilient
