We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer Rail & Transit to provide technical leadership across the design, development, integration, verification and lifecycle management of complex rail systems. This role will contribute to major rail and transit projects, ensuring that system solutions are safe, reliable, maintainable, compliant and aligned with operational requirements. You will work across multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, operators and project stakeholders to deliver integrated outcomes from concept through to commissioning and in-service support.
Key responsibilities include developing and managing system requirements, technical specifications, interface definitions and verification strategies; coordinating systems engineering activities across rolling stock, signalling, communications, control, power and infrastructure interfaces; and supporting hazard analysis, safety assurance, reliability, availability, maintainability and lifecycle assessments. You will lead technical reviews, manage system integration and acceptance activities, investigate complex technical issues, and provide clear engineering advice to project and programme leadership. The role will also involve reviewing supplier documentation, monitoring technical risks, contributing to configuration and change control, and ensuring compliance with relevant rail standards, legislation and assurance processes.
The successful candidate will have substantial systems engineering experience within the rail, mass transit, transport or another highly regulated industry, together with a strong understanding of the systems lifecycle and requirements management principles. Experience in systems integration, safety assurance, verification and validation, and engineering governance is essential. A relevant engineering degree or equivalent professional experience is expected, along with the ability to interpret technical standards and communicate complex information clearly to varied audiences. Familiarity with systems engineering tools and recognised rail standards will be advantageous. You will be analytical, collaborative and confident working independently, with strong stakeholder management skills and a practical, outcome-focused approach to solving challenging engineering problems.
