Your day-to-day work involves defining technical requirements (specifications/use cases), acting as the technical interface between subsystems, and overseeing the development processes conducted by external suppliers. You will be responsible for system acceptance, representing the department in international standardization bodies like TSI CCS, and providing expert support during system operation, including troubleshooting critical failures. The position requires a strong background in computer science or electrical engineering, with a focus on safety-critical IT environments. This role is unique because it combines high-level technical system design with international policy influence, offering a chance to shape the future of European rail technology while working in a complex, mission-critical infrastructure environment.
