Key Notes
Train Control and Monitoring System architecture, embedded software and vehicle integration define this senior engineering position in Derby. The permanent post advertises £64,000 plus bonus and includes project and team leadership. Listed technical knowledge covers CAN, Ethernet, safety-critical systems and rail lifecycle standards, with control algorithm development and validation forming part of the work.
What You'll Work On
- Lead TCMS architecture design and implementation for new and existing rail vehicles, managing the associated project work and technical development activities.
- Integrate TCMS with vehicle platforms alongside mechanical, electrical and software engineers, developing and validating control algorithms and investigating system defects.
- Introduce new system technologies and methods, and build team knowledge through technical documentation, mentoring and training on train control engineering.
Why This Role Matters
- New and existing rail vehicles depend on TCMS interfaces working across mechanical, electrical and software systems, with integration and algorithm validation addressing compatibility and performance.
- TCMS project outcomes include fewer system defects and greater operational efficiency, with technical investigations and control-system development tied to those stated measures of success.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualification: A bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, computer science or a related field is sought.
- Experience: Rail systems or embedded systems engineering experience and proven project management skills are sought.
- Technical: TCMS design, embedded software development, CAN, Ethernet and system integration proficiency are sought.
- Domain: Knowledge of safety-critical systems, rail industry standards and lifecycle management is sought.
