Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your systems design and engineering expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative, innovative, and forward-thinking teammates.

You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of rail signalling systems by contributing to the development of the RBC-ETCS program. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as software engineering, verification and validation, safety, and certification teams), provide expertise on customer requirements, and ensure the delivery of high-quality solutions.

You’ll specifically take care of analysing change requests (CRs) and their impact on existing products, as well as proposing and documenting optimal solutions, but also supporting cross-functional teams to ensure successful implementation.

We’ll look to you for:

  • Analysing customer needs and challenging technical proposals to optimise development efforts

  • Evaluating the functional, safety, and documentation impact of change requests

  • Proposing solutions at the system level and documenting them in SyRS

  • Ensuring the coherence and traceability of global solutions

  • Supporting software engineering, verification and validation, and safety teams in implementing solutions

  • Providing expertise and "hotline" support for project-level deployments


All about you

  • Degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field

  • Experience or understanding of system design and system engineering

  • Knowledge of railways signalling systems or similar safety-critical systems (e.g., automotive, aeronautics)

  • Familiarity with modelling methods such as UML, SADT, SysML, or Matlab

  • A strong ability to write clear, rigorous, and concise documentation in English

  • Basic programming skills

  • Experience with requirement traceability tools like DOORS


Things you’ll enjoy Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

  • Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long-term career free from boring daily routines

  • Work with new security standards for rail signalling

  • Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues

  • Contribute to innovative projects

  • Utilise our flexible and inclusive working environment

  • Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries

  • Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning

  • Progress towards roles like Senior System Designer or System Engineering Manager

  • Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension)
