Joining us means joining a truly global community of more than 75 000 people dedicated to solving real-world mobility challenges and achieving international projects with sustainable local impact.

If you’re ambitious, driven and team-spirited, this is your opportunity to build a career as a Functional Architect (System Engineer) in Mannheim, De. (Vienna, AT is another possible location).

As a Functional Architect (System Engineer), you will be accountable for designing parts of the train control system (e.g. data recorder, obstacle detection assistance system, automatic train protection / train stop) including subsystem interaction and subsystem functions. Since a train is a complex assembly of mechanical, electrical and electronic components the main task of the Functional Architect is to develop a System that covers Customer Requirements, standards and regulations and makes maximum use of BT’s standard building blocks.

The Functional Architect works in a team of Operability, Safety, RAM-LCC, Mechanical and Electrical Architecture to ensure the right Quality of performance on Time and on budget.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Analyse, consolidate and define the allocated requirements at vehicle and subsystem level
• Consolidate operational scenarios and operability requirements of functional features
• Define the appropriate train functional architecture to comply to the internal and external requirements including Availability and Safety
• Work out concepts and design, aligned with the team, to set in place the most suitable architecture fulfilling the needs and requirements
• Create functional specifications including derived requirement to the electrical architecture, train control and subsystems
• Subsystem integration by e.g. technical requirement documentation, Hard- and Software interface management, type testing
• Support validation of the functional design including preparation of test specifications
• Verify the functional design in course of the development process by simulation of functional models
• Manage configurations and changes to ensure integrity of the baselines
• Drive decisions to manage performance and prevent delays on the development schedule

Qualifications - External

• Masters` Degree in Engineering (electrical or software) or equivalent
• 3+ years relevant experience in functional engineering and system design
