Your Job

- You will take the lead in specifying requirements documents (use cases/functions) as the basis for system development or further development of computer-based railway signalling technology, considering operational, operational management, and strategic system deployment requirements.
- As the technical interface between all function-related subsystems, you will coordinate their integration, ensure interface specifications, and manage their integration into the overall system landscape.
- You will review supplier specifications, accompany them through the technical system development process, define system acceptance criteria, and conduct system acceptance.
- You will represent the specialist department in international standardisation bodies such as TSI CCS in connection with ETCS, as well as actively participate in international working groups for the European standardisation of railway technology.
- After system commissioning, you will assume systemic responsibility and support operations in the event of critical failures (e.g., safety, availability) through analyses, defining measures, and communication with system manufacturers.
- Your tasks will also include creating system-related documentation (e.g., maintenance, presentations, training, deployment planning), supporting procurement in preparing technical tender documents, and conducting system-related training in regular courses.
Your Profile

- You are familiar with the specifics of developing and deploying IT-based safety-critical systems, as well as topics related to IT networks and IT security.
- Working independently and proactively in complex project and process landscapes is natural for you; you also bring a high willingness to learn.
