Project ATC Design Leader

Req ID:518149 

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

The train movements are controlled by ATC System in a safe way. The Trackside ATC is responsible to send to Trainborne ATC the track conditions that allow entering in a given segment. Those conditions could be: point machines at right position, track clear, speed restriction, route set, etc. The Trainborne ATC compares the information received from Trackside ATC against train actual conditions (speed, position, track, direction) and can restrict its movement if there is any risk to go over a safe limit.
The Project ATC Leader is responsible to deliver the ATC sub-system approved by the customer, respecting the project QCD, during the project life cycle. 

MAIN RESPONSABILITIES  

• Key accountabilities:
• ATC System includes both trackside and trainborne. Project ATC Leader main responsibilities are:
• Accountable to deliver ATC QCD commitments
• He/she is the direct technical interface with the customer for ATC Engineering
• Provides ATC functional and architecture specification, ATC detailed design and ATC configuration. Provides corrections during and until customer acceptance
• Provides Signalling – Rolling Stock interface specification, until mutual agreement from both engineering entities
• Make sure technical design is consistent
• Contribute to the definition of the functional validation phase of the sub-system (I&V and FIVP)
• Ensure that all Domain / Métier activities follow ATC methods & tools
• Support PrEM to ensure full transparency of ATC Engineering WP QCD performance (including physical progress)
• Follow the monthly review cycle with PrEM, highlighting main variances against the Project Engineering QCD commitment, initiating corrective actions and immediately informing the PrEM and Projects Engineering Domain /
• Métier department head where major deviations are detected.
• Follow and participate in Risk and Savings Reviews for his / her scope. Provide inputs to PrEM to update the RAMP and SAMP of the Project.
• If the ATC scope changes (due to either internal or external changes), support PrEM in Project Engineering QCD commitment variations with the Project Controller
• Make communication with customer and ensure ATC documentation is approved

Performance measurements:

• Project QCD (Quality, Cost and Delivery) commitment
• On-time-delivery for ATC deliverables according to project planning and DML (EDP - Engineering Delivery Performance)
• Defect detected on ATC (DQI - Delivery Quality Indicator)
• Cooperation and reactivity to support to Root Cause Analysis Identification of contract variations (through  traceability & coverage of requirements)
