Responsibilities

• Plan, execute, and document testing and commissioning activities for ATC subsystems such as Automatic Train Protection (ATP), Automatic Train Operation (ATO), and Automatic Train Supervision (ATS).
• Perform functional and system integration tests for onboard and wayside ATC equipment according to the organization’s procedures and project specifications.
• Prepare and maintain test documentation, including test procedures, checklists, test reports, and non-conformance records.
• Conduct site and system acceptance tests (SAT, SIT, SSIT) and support final commissioning and handover to the client.
• Verify interfaces between ATC, interlocking, and communication systems, ensuring correct operation across subsystems.
• Troubleshoot, analyze, and resolve technical issues during testing and commissioning phases.
• Ensure all activities comply with safety, quality, and environmental standards and rail operational requirements.
• Provide technical support during warranty and maintenance phases as required.
• Coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams including system design, installation, and operations for smooth project delivery.

Essential Requirements

• Degree or Diploma in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Control Systems, or Railway Engineering (or equivalent).
• 2–6 years of relevant experience in testing, commissioning, or maintenance of rail signaling and ATC systems.
• Hands‑on experience in CBTC or conventional signaling systems (e.g., Trainguard MT, SICAS/SINET, WESTRACE, or equivalent) strongly preferred.
• Sound understanding of Automatic Train Control principles (ATP/ATO/ATS).
• Familiarity with CENELEC standards (EN 50126/8/9), system safety requirements, and configuration control processes.
• Proficiency in using test and diagnostic tools for system verification.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to work independently under tight schedules.
• Excellent communication, coordination, and reporting skills.
• Willingness to work in a site‑based environment, including night shifts or track possession hours when necessary.
