What You'll Do

  • Translate system-level and customer requirements into DCI subsystem requirements, acceptance criteria, and design constraints.

  • Produce and maintain key subsystem deliverables, such as Subsystem Requirements Specifications and Interface Control Documents.
  • Lead technical workshops with system engineering and stakeholders.
  • Manage technical risks and issues, and coordinate with vendors and partners as needed.

What We're Looking For

  • A degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Demonstrated experience translating system-level requirements into subsystem requirements and architectures with full traceability.
  • Strong grasp of virtualization and platform design, such as VMware vSphere or SUSE Harvester.
  • Knowledge of Windows Server and Linux administration patterns and standards.
  • Experience with MS SQL Server deployment patterns, backup/restore, and HA/DR options.
  • Solid understanding of physical and virtual networking concepts, including VLANs, routing, segmentation, firewalls, and load balancing.
  • Proven ability to define non-functional requirements and turn them into concrete designs.
  • Familiarity with requirements management tools and modeling/diagramming tools like SysML, Enterprise Architect, or Visio.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

Technical Stack

  • VMware vSphere
  • SUSE Harvester
  • Windows Server

Team & Environment

You will work closely with system engineers, DCI engineers, project managers, and customers.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Stability, challenges, and a long-term career free from boring daily routines.
  • Work with new security standards for rail signalling.
  • Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues.
