Description

We are Bombardier

Get on board; we can drive you further in your career!

Bombardier Transportation is the number one provider of rail solutions in the world. Our business holds the number one global market position in eight of the ten markets we service. Our product portfolio includes a full range of passenger rail vehicles and we manufacture locomotives, bogies, propulsion and rail control solutions. We design, build and service some of the most intelligent and beautiful rail solutions in the world, our products are safe, healthy for people and help preserve the world's natural environment.

At Bombardier, employees work together to evolve mobility worldwide - one good idea at a time. If you have a good idea, we'll provide the environment where it will thrive and grow into a great product or customer experience. Your ideas are our fuel.

These are exciting times at Bombardier Transportation and in line with our commitment to become an World Class Engineering organisation, we seek individuals who share our vision. As Total Train Control Engineer, you will design, develop and implement total train control solutions (TCMS) delivering robust safety critical solutions with high reliability, availability, low maintenance and material costs, whilst ensuring team members are engaged and fully trained to work across function.

Key Responsibilities and Challenges:

- Design and develop the train control philosophies, balancing risks and benefits of conventional control (driver's cab equipment, wires and relays) against computerized control (TCMS), and to ensure successful integration of complex systems.
- Be responsible for a combination of management of the schematic drafting process and ensuring that the drafted systems are electrically viable and to a given quality.
- Checking of the electrical schemes is a core element of this role. This is for graphical quality, logical layout and correctness to the electrical engineer's requirement.
- A second aspect of the role requires the selection of small electrical components which form part of the electrical design. A good knowledge of currently available electrical products is highly desirable.
- Defining the computer control hardware, network and I/O architectures, and utilization and distribution of MITRAC platform software capabilities across that architecture to deliver safety-critical solutions with high reliability, high availability and low maintenance & material costs.
- Responsible for preparing bid-responses, focusing on re-use of systems with a proven pedigree where practical, proposing new concepts where necessary or advantageous, and engineering solutions for simplicity, reliability, maintainability and cost-effectiveness in all cases. You will liaise with colleagues to ensure a holistic approach to the vehicle design and architecture is supported.
- During project execution, you will be responsible for producing all relevant functional and sub-system artefacts on time and to an agreed budget: typically these will include the sub-system architecture, design and interface specifications, supplier requirements, sub-system acceptance criteria and test specifications.
- You will be responsible for assuring the quality of inputs to and outputs from suppliers, management of technical risks and emerging issues, and continuous technical liaison with suppliers to facilitate delivery of the correct solution with the required quality.
