Job description

Overview

We know that a business only thrives if our people are thriving. That's why we always put our people first. Our global and diverse team would be happy to support you and challenge you to grow in many ways. Who knows where our joint journey will take you?

As market leaders across rail, road and logistics, Siemens Mobility are pursuing the goal of networking various transportation systems with one another to move people and goods efficiently - Complete Mobility.

Siemens Mobility, Rail Infrastructure, offers a wide range of systems for signaling, control, communications and electrification for main line, regional, metro and light rail infrastructure applications.

The Mobile Communications business in Poole supplies on-board communications equipment and associated technical solutions to rail industry operators and suppliers worldwide. This includes the GSM-R cab radio with GPS and LTE connectivity, and the GSM-R data radio. We have earned a respected reputation in the industry which has developed as a result of our success in delivering to our customers across the globe. In addition, we are leading the way in developing the next generation of rail communications (Future Railway Mobile Communication System), based on 4G and 5G technology, so this is a great time to join the business in the development of a new, exciting technology.

You'll make a difference by...

• Where designated as lead project engineer, technical responsibility for delivering technical and engineering elements of allocated projects, tenders or work-package items for all stages of a project, including systems analysis and design, implementation, validation and test, and engineering support to commissioning.
• Produce product requirements from a customer specification, and define development of new features
• Contribute, and occasionally lead on project risk identification and management
• Contribute to the design of technical solutions based on GSM-R or FRMCS specifications and writing and reviewing associated documentation to meet customer requirements
• Identifying and resolving complex system issues as and when they may arise, including those raised by the customer
• Providing support to the business during the project lifecycle, e.g. bid tendering through to post implementation, accurately estimating cost, resources, timeline and risk for engineering projects and activities
• Achieving budgets, timescales, quality and performance targets. Ensure that all work is conducted safely and to the required standards
• Represent Siemens at factory and site customer acceptance testing, both executing tests and documenting results
• Work overseas as required to ensure the project is delivered to the customer's satisfaction
• Maintaining and actively developing own professional competence
• Fostering innovation in others and capturing innovative ideas, seeking to maximise the benefit of intellectual property to the business through communication of potential patents and innovative ideas to the relevant parts of the business
• Ensuring that persons working under their supervision are competent and safe to carry out tasks assigned to them, and that they accept personal responsibility for work done under the authority delegated

You'll win us over by...

• Previous experience and knowledge of project engineering activities at all stages of the engineering lifecycle, preferably within a railway environment
• Experience in communications (GSM, 3G/4G/5G) or software engineering would be useful, but not essential
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with an ability to write clear, concise and comprehensive technical documentation
• Normally have or working towards an Electrical/Electronic/Software Engineering degree or similar
• Travel and working in a depot environment is expected, therefore able to travel within the UK and abroad for short periods, working with customers and colleagues from other Siemens businesses

You'll benefit from...

Our compensation package includes a competitive salary, holiday allowance and pension. We celebrate the fact that our employees are individuals and have different wants and needs. With this in mind, we have a flexible benefits scheme where you can tailor your benefits package to suit you.
