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 35 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.
