Job description

Senior Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) Engineer

We’re entering a pivotal phase of technological expansion and are actively recruiting a seasoned Senior Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) Engineer (m/f/d) to enhance our technical depth.

Specializing in bespoke rolling stock engineering solutions for sustainability, we focus on elevating the reliability, availability, and maintainability metrics across global railway projects — locomotives, passenger trains, metros, and infrastructure “yellow” machines. With a newly established, state-of-the-art engineering hub in Serbia and Switzerland, we are scaling our operations to serve an extensive and demanding clientele across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East. This is a highly targeted opportunity for experts in RAM engineering to join our elite technical team and contribute to groundbreaking projects in sustainable rail transport.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead data-driven analysis of Life-Cycle Costs (LCC) and Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) metrics for new build rolling stock projects, turning metrics into actionable insights.
• Conduct cutting-edge risk assessments using RBDs, FTAs, and FMECA, aligning these analyses with the company’s strategic goals.
• Develop and implement industry-leading Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) strategies tailored to optimize our new rolling stock assets’ performance and lifespan.
• Spearhead Supply Chain Management (SCM) from an engineering venture, focusing on procuring mission-critical components and optimizing inventory for new builds.
• Drive the digital transformation in rolling stock maintenance and fleet management, leveraging next-gen technologies like IoT and machine learning to boost efficiency.
• Engage directly with our global customer base, using field data to refine our RAM/LCC models and maintenance strategies across Europe, the USA, Africa, and the Middle East.

Your Profile

• Advanced degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Aerospace Engineering, aligning with the technical rigor required for senior roles.
• Extensive professional experience, particularly in data-driven analysis and risk assessment; exceptional newcomers are also considered.
• Mastery of engineering software and methodologies such as LCC, RBDs, FTAs, and FMECA, critical for senior-level responsibilities.
• Specialized maintenance and reliability engineering expertise, ideally focusing on rolling stock or similar high-stakes sectors.
• Direct experience in rolling stock or aerospace, especially in new builds, is a distinct advantage for meeting senior-level expectations.
• Uncompromising commitment to quality and detail, proven ability to manage tight deadlines and high-pressure scenarios.
• Forward-thinking, technologically savvy, and goal-oriented, aligned with company growth and innovation objectives.
• Superior communication and teamwork skills; fluency in English essential, German proficiency advantageous.
• A highly competitive salary package complemented by comprehensive allowances, offering an excellent reward for your expertise.
• A workspace located in one of the most picturesque parts of the country, specially designed with a modern aesthetic and complete with gym facilities for work-life balance.
• The flexibility to work remotely, with the possibility of 70%-100% home-office arrangements to ensure you can work in a way that suits you best.
• Fully compensated global business travel opportunities, offering the chance to gain international exposure and experiences.
• An unparalleled chance to evolve and thrive in a stimulating engineering environment, working alongside premier clients from various industries worldwide.
