What are my job responsibilities?
We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented ATC Senior Design Engineer to support the design, development, and deployment of CBTC GoA 4 signalling solutions for urban rail systems. The ideal candidate will bring deep technical expertise in ATC system design, with specific experience in rolling stock interfacing, system simulation, and performance-critical subsystems. You will play a key role throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring optimal integration and performance of automatic train operation.
- Lead and contribute to the design of CBTC GoA 4 ATC systems, including concept development, detailed design, integration, and validation.
- Create and review CBTC scheme plans, ensuring compliance with signalling principles, operational requirements, and project constraints.
- Conduct headway simulations and performance assessments to validate system throughput and dwell time criteria.
- Define, document, and verify rolling stock interfaces, both hardware (e.g., onboard ATC equipment, cabling, I/O) and functional (e.g., control messages, passenger announcements).
- Integrate ATC systems with critical onboard functions including:
- Traction and brake performance profiles
- Passenger information and announcement systems
- Stopping accuracy algorithms and calibration
- Train wake-up and sleep sequences
- Vehicle bus communications (e.g., MVB, Ethernet)
- Develop and manage interface control documents (ICDs), ensuring proper coordination between wayside and onboard systems.
- Collaborate with rolling stock manufacturer, system engineers, and software teams to ensure cohesive system integration.
- Support lab testing, system validation, and on-site commissioning activities.
- Ensure all designs adhere to applicable safety and quality standards including CENELEC EN 50126/50128/50129, IEEE 1474, and IEC 62290.
- Participate in hazard identification, risk assessment, RAMS development, and safety case preparation.
- Engage with stakeholders, including clients and consultants, to align design outputs with project goals.
What do I need to qualify for this role?
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Railway Engineering, or a related technical field.
- Minimum 3–5 years of relevant experience in signalling or train control systems, ideally within CBTC or advanced ATC environments.
- Proven experience with:
- CBTC scheme planning and design
- System-level headway simulation and analysis
- Rolling stock interface definition and validation
- Integration of traction, braking, and stopping control within ATC
- Vehicle communication networks (MVB and Ethernet)
- Trainborne ATC system wake/sleep management
- Strong knowledge of RAMS principles and safety-critical system lifecycle.
- Experience with tools such as AutoCAD, Microstation, DOORS and signalling simulation platforms.
- Excellent documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Preferred skills:
- Experience with Siemens CBTC system.
- Certification or formal training in CENELEC standards or functional safety.
- Experience in multi-vendor project environments and complex integration contexts.
