Job Summary

As a Computer Scientist or IT Systems Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the development and lifecycle management of safety-critical IT systems for railway infrastructure, such as digital interlocking systems. Your daily responsibilities include specifying requirements for system development, coordinating technical interfaces between subsystems, and overseeing the integration of these systems into the broader infrastructure. You will act as a key technical liaison with suppliers, reviewing their specifications, defining acceptance criteria, and managing the commissioning process. Furthermore, you will represent the organization in international standardization bodies like TSI CCS and Eulynx.
