PSD Design Manager

1. System Architecture & Conceptual Design

• Develop the overall

  system architecture

  for PSDs, including mechanical layout, electrical interfaces, and control logic.
• Define

  design criteria

  based on project requirements, safety standards (e.g., EN 50126/50128/50129), and environmental conditions.
• Lead

  feasibility studies

  and

  site-specific customization

  for new or retrofit installations.

• Oversee the creation of

  detailed engineering drawings

  , 3D models, and schematics for:
  • Door panels and drive mechanisms
  • Track interface and anchoring systems
  • Electrical wiring and control cabinets
  • Human-machine interfaces (HMI) and emergency systems
• Ensure integration with

  signaling systems

  ,

  train detection

  , and

  station infrastructure

  .

• Conduct

  design reviews

  ,

  failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)

  , and

  risk assessments

  .
• Supervise the development and testing of

  mock-ups

  or

  prototypes

  to validate mechanical and control performance.
• Collaborate with suppliers to ensure

  design-for-manufacture (DFM)

  and

  design-for-installation (DFI)

  principles are met.

• Coordinate with civil, signaling, rolling stock, and communications teams to manage

  interface control documents (ICDs)

  .
• Ensure PSD design aligns with

  platform edge tolerances

  ,

  train door positions

  , and

  emergency egress requirements

  .
• Design for

  redundancy

  ,

  fail-safe operation

  , and

  manual override mechanisms

  .

• Prepare and maintain:

  • Design specifications

  • Bill of Materials (BOM)

  • Installation and commissioning manuals

  • As-built drawings

• Ensure compliance with

  international standards

  (e.g., ISO, IEC, NFPA) and

  local authority regulations

  .

• Present design concepts and updates to clients, consultants, and regulatory bodies.
• Incorporate feedback from

  operations

  ,

  maintenance

  , and

  safety teams

  into iterative design improvements.
• Support

  tendering

  and

  technical bid evaluations

  with design input.
