Job description

Perform rolling stock general studies covering product layout, kinematic clearances, master sections, subsystem integration, technical diagrams, and mass management, while ensuring compliant deliverables and convergence across international design teams

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse critical cross-sections; define zone master sections and SAMs; maintain 3D layouts for locomotive variants.


• Perform local pre-design and integrate equipment across underframe, roof, cab, structural, and fitting zones.


• Produce horizontal and vertical 2D clearance plans for car-to-car, trainset-to-trainset, and coupling configurations.


• Conduct body-to-bogie clash and proximity analyses, identify risk zones, and issue structured reports and mitigation inputs.


• Create and update harmonised diagrams covering capacity, body sections, equipment, cameras, screens, accessibility, cabin, and safety.


• Manage mass requirements and evidence in DOORS; prepare TRS Weight documentation and negotiate mass allocations with system engineers.


• Build and maintain M3 mass balances with tolerances, centres of gravity, inertias, KPIs, and review material.


• Prepare calculation notes, weighing test specifications, and weighing analyses; support the Indian team and drive convergence.
