Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your technical expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and innovative teammates.

Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as Train Level, Safety and Availability teams, sub-systems, and software design teams), define technical aspects of control systems, and contribute to the successful delivery of projects. You’ll specifically take care of developing functional train architectures and validating them through simulation, but also support the integration and testing of these systems.

Responsibilities

• Analyzing, clarifying, and consolidating all applicable functional requirements at the train level
• Elaborating train functional architectures (command and control, with low voltage and software design) with a focus on Safety and Availability
• Developing and selecting suitable functional architectures, concepts, and design solutions through trade-off studies
• Ensuring timely decisions regarding functional architectures and system technologies to meet project milestones
• Issuing complete and correct functional specifications and interfaces for projects
• Specifying software solutions and overseeing their development, verification, and testing
• Validating functional designs through simulation and defining test specifications
• Reporting progress, risks, and key performance indicators (KPIs) related to functional architectures, software specifications, and project validation
