Job
Description
About the Position: We are seeking a highly skilled Signalling VV Engineer specialized in CBTC technology, to ensure the reliability, safety, and compliance of our Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) systems. This role is critical in validating the functionality and performance of railway signaling solutions, from design to deployment, to meet global safety standards and operational requirements. Key Accountabilities: Test Planning Execution Develop and implement comprehensive test plans, test cases, and test protocols for CBTC subsystems (e. g. , onboard systems, zone controllers, communication networks). Conduct functional testing, integration testing, and performance testing to validate system behavior under real-world scenarios, including fail-safe mechanisms and moving block signalling Defect Management Resolution Identify, document, and track defects using tools like RTC and DOORs. Collaborate with design and software teams to resolve issues and verify fixes. Lead root cause analysis for system failures and ensure corrective actions are validated. Compliance Documentation Prepare test reports, traceability matrices, and safety cases to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements (e. g. , SIL-4 for safety-critical systems). Maintain detailed records of test results and support certification processes. Collaboration Cross-Functional Support Work closely with systems engineers, software developers, and work package leaders to align testing activities with design specifications and project timelines. Provide technical support during commissioning and field deployment, including troubleshooting and on-site validation. Innovation Process Improvement Evaluate new tools and methodologies to enhance testing efficiency. Contribute to the development of automated test frameworks for regression and load testing. Key Experience Preferred: 3+ years in CBTC, railway signaling, or safety-critical systems verification Proficiency in testing tools and scripting languages (Python). Familiarity with ATO (Automatic Train Operation), ATP (Automatic Train Protection), and ATS (Automatic Train Supervision). Deep understanding of CBTC architecture, and wireless communication protocols Knowledge of RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) and CENELEC standards. Soft Skills: Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and ability to communicate technical issues to non-technical stakeholders. Experience with Hitachi Rail CBTC system is a plus. Education/Qualifications Preferred: Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Railway Systems, or a related field.
