System Design Specialist

To perform system design, signalling design, analysis, modelling and simulation to specify communication based train control systems. To develop and define system design features to meet Customer requirements. To analyze and evaluate designs to verify compliance with system technical requirements. To develop and define Subsystems requirements. To develop block design, interlocking control tables, and application database for Software subsystems. To analyze and evaluate system performance and prepare associated technical contract deliverable.

The incumbent is accountable for performing the design work correctly, within cost and schedule limits, as defined in approved work packages.
The work is typically defined by the Work Package Manager and assigned to the system/signaling engineers. The System/signaling Engineer typically works with a team of engineers to define the requirements/design for the project under the technical supervision of the System/Signaling Design Lead. As a signaling engineer there is a focus on the development of the data related requirements and producing a database for the system.
