Job Description

We are seeking a highly experienced Test Architect to lead the verification and validation strategy for onboard Automatic Train Protection (ATP) systems, with a strong focus on TCAS/Kavach. The role involves designing test architecture, selecting technologies, defining standards, and ensuring compliance with safety-critical standards (SIL4). The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of railway signalling systems, embedded testing methodologies, and a passion for quality assurance.
  • Key Responsibilities:

  • Test Strategy & Architecture
  • Understand Test Architecture, framework of the base solution and modify /enhance it as per needs of new product
  • Design comprehensive testing strategies aligned with project goals and system requirements.
  • Architect the overall test solution, including frameworks, tools, environments, and processes.
  • Select appropriate testing technologies and tools based on project needs and system complexity.
  • Define and enforce testing standards, coding practices, and methodologies across the testing team.
  • Ensure test coverage for SIL4 safety-critical systems in compliance with EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129.
  • Domain-Specific Testing
  • Design and execute test scenarios for TCAS/Kavach systems, including fail-safe and degraded mode operations.
  • Validate interoperability, timing, and communication protocols used in train protection systems.
  • Collaborate with system architects and safety engineers to ensure traceability and completeness of test cases.
  • Performance & Risk Management
  • Identify and assess testing risks, and implement mitigation strategies.
  • Optimize test performance, including execution time and resource utilization.
  • Ensure testing processes meet quality assurance standards and regulatory requirements.
  • Continuous Improvement & Collaboration

  • Provide mentorship and training to testing team members to enhance skills and performance.
  • Tools & Automation
  • Implement and manage test automation frameworks for embedded systems.
  • Utilize simulation tools and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) setups for system-level testing.
  • Integrate test tools with configuration management and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics, Computer Science, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in testing embedded systems, preferably in railway or other safety-critical domains.
  • Proven experience in test architecture design for SIL4-compliant systems.
  • Hands-on experience with TCAS/Kavach or similar train protection systems.
  • Strong knowledge of real-time systems, communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Ethernet), and embedded software testing.
  • Familiarity with EN 5012x standards, safety lifecycle, and formal verification methods.
  • Experience with test management tools (e.g., HP ALM, Polarion), simulation environments, and HIL setups.
  • Preferred Experience:

  • Exposure to other ATP systems such as ETCS, PTC, or CBTC.
  • Experience with model-based testing, UML/SysML, and requirements traceability.
  • Knowledge of scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell) for automation.
  • Soft Skills:

  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
