System Design Specialist, Senior

Description

• Prepares system, subsystem, and interface requirement specifications by analyzing and decomposing, modeling, and refining customer requirements and typical train control domain requirements.
• Creates new concepts or modifies existing concepts to fulfill customer requirements.
• Presents technical designs to customers and/or other engineering/management groups in clear, complete, concise, and non-ambiguous terms.
• Converts Customer (internal and/or external) requirements into conceptual designs and prepares associated documentation by performing operational analyses, simulations, and technical trade-off studies evaluating alternative design configurations and functional features.
• Prepares Operational Concept Document.
• Identifies and implements process improvements in the project.
• Evaluates and defines operational design limits.
• Ensures that safety is built into the design by early identification and resolution of safety-related defects.
• Mentors other systems engineers.
• Prepares and supports customer requirements compliance assessment, gap analysis, and architecture design.
• Promotes a safety culture where product safety is paramount.
• Prepares and supports bids and proposals, including customer requirements compliance assessment, gap analysis, architecture design, simulation, trade-off of key features, estimation, etc.
• Interfaces and builds strong working relationships with Software, Hardware, and IVVQ groups to ensure timely analysis and resolution of in-house and field test issues, and ensures a good understanding of the System Design.
• Proposes work package estimates and descriptions based on the knowledge of the work and project requirements.

Requirements

• Excellent technical writing, communication, and presentation skills.
• Knowledge of modern software engineering practices, methods, and tools.
