Job Purpose

• Develop specifications for one or more functions or subsystems to be implemented on next-generation passenger trains. Lead engineering studies to ensure each function or subsystem meets performance requirements, including requirement management, calculations, simulations, supplier and internal discussions, type testing at both subsystem and train level, root cause analysis, and proposing modifications.
• Act as a delegate for the Train System Engineer (TSE), specifying train-level functions and subsystems, and technically leading engineering efforts to meet train-level performance targets.
• Oversee and validate subsystem selection in projects involving external suppliers.
• Manage project development in collaboration with suppliers and customers (TSE-TDE-TCE).
• Conduct validation activities for assigned train components as delegated by the Train Validation Engineer (TVE).
• Draft train-level and subsystem-level test specifications and procedures.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop requirements based on reference documents, standards, certifications, safety, and customer needs, in collaboration with specialists.
• Define system architecture, operational modes, and functions based on internal and external requirements.
• Allocate specialist requirements (e.g. EMC, acoustics, fire protection) to subsystems in coordination with experts.
• Perform train system FMECA in collaboration with the RAMS team.
• Ensure consistency and compatibility across all subsystem specifications.
• Write subsystem specifications and architecture descriptions with subsystem engineers and other engineering teams.
• Support the TSE in defining applicable train configurations.
• Coordinate across subsystems, engineering sites, and departments to resolve technical issues during detailed design.
• Participate in technical meetings with customers.
• Collaborate with the sourcing team to draft technical product specifications, engage in supplier discussions, and support product development and testing. Address non-compliance issues during the warranty phase.
• Drive technical product development through to GFV in close cooperation with suppliers.
• Define and execute train verification strategies with engineering, certification, validation, and subsystem teams.
• Write train-level and subsystem-level test specifications as needed.
• Perform train integration and tuning.
• Manage technical issues from investigation through to resolution and closure.
• Provide weekly reports at both project and métier levels.
• Support the TSE in implementing and updating engineering risk mitigation plans, change order processes, and QCD optimisation.
• Responsible for initiating and managing change requests via the CCB (Change Control Board) process
• Prepare design reviews with suppliers (subsystem/product level) or with the TSE (train/product integration level).
• Manage technical aspects of subsystem ESLI/RAPR.
• Ensure standard design rules are applied in collaboration with platform and sourcing teams.
• Apply métier tools effectively (e.g. DOORS, costing tool, DRCL).
• Execute tasks assigned by the TSE.
• Update the validation plan and write train system test procedures.
• Ensure timely delivery of validation evidence, including for lower-level systems and components, and consolidate validation documentation.
• Resolving technical open issues, overseeing the entire process from investigation through to implementation of modifications and final problem closure.
• Provide structured Return of Experience (REX) to support costing, reference solutions, and enrich the CV métier technical repository.

Minimum Requirements

• BSc or B.Eng. in Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronics, or Electro-Mechanical Engineering.
• Registered or eligible for registration as a Professional Engineer with ECSA.
• 3–5 years of experience in a similar role, preferably within the railway industry.
