The Onboard Signalling System Engineer defines and develops the signalling system architecture and functionalities for equipment fitted onboard the trains.
He/she defines and allocates requirements, evaluates design trade-offs, analyses technical risks, defines interfaces.
He/she keeps close coordination with the rest of the project team and in particular within the engineering team (detailed design, tests, safety, certification and approval…).

RESPONSIBILITIES:

For the projects they will be assigned to, he/she brings his/her contribution to :
- the definition, specification, analysis and development of signalling systems;
- their integration and test;
- the realisation of tenders and local or international projects;
- the orientation of new products developments;
- the participation to the traceability of functional specifications;
- the conception of the system evolutions (mainly in term of maintenance and implementation of a new line).
- Ensure that the system follows standardization approach by reusing existing solutions or by implementing reusable solutions, and by providing an efficient system deployment kit (tools, user
documentation…)
- Propose improvement or innovative actions for future projects or tenders
