System Interface Manager – Kavach Product Development

Description

• Define interface requirements and ensure consistency across hardware, software, and communication subsystems.
• Support preparation of safety cases, hazard logs, and compliance documentation for independent safety assessment (ISA) and RDSO approval.
• Drive technical discussions to resolve interface conflicts and risks.
• Ensure interface traceability throughout the system lifecycle in compliance with EN 50126/8/9 and Indian Railway standards.
• Provide regular reporting on interface status, risks, and dependencies to project management.
• Manage interface baselines and ensure alignment with evolving system architecture.
• Define and supervise interface verification & validation (V&V) strategies, ensuring compliance with SIL-4 safety integrity requirements.
• Integration & Verification: Support integration planning and execution for subsystem and system-level interfaces.
• Ensure interoperability between Kavach onboard and trackside systems, and compatibility with third-party solutions.
• Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination: Act as the single point of contact for interface-related issues with internal teams, suppliers, and Indian Railways stakeholders.
• Interface Definition & Control: Develop, document, and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) covering onboard, trackside, and cross-vendor interfaces.
• Ensure interface designs adhere to relevant functional safety standards (EN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129, EN 50159).
• Safety & Compliance: Collaborate with safety teams to identify and mitigate interface-related hazards.
• Requirements & Change Management:Capture, analyse, and validate interface-related requirements from customer, regulatory, and operational inputs.
• Collaborate with engineering teams during lab testing, field validation, and commissioning phases.
• Manage interface change requests, impact assessments, and configuration control.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of experience in system engineering or interface management roles.
• Expertise in CENELEC EN 50126/50128/50129/50159 standards.
• Ability to manage dependencies across multiple technical domains.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical, Electronics, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or Railway Engineering (or equivalent).
• Familiarity with RAMS, hazard analysis, and safety verification practices.
• Strong communication skills to manage diverse stakeholders.
• 8–12 years of experience in railway signalling, ATP, ETCS, CBTC, or other safety-critical system development.
• Excellent coordination, negotiation, and conflict resolution abilities.
• Knowledge of train-to-trackside communication protocols and interoperability requirements.
• Experience with requirements management and configuration tools (e.g., DOORS, JIRA).
• Strong understanding of ATP/ETCS/CBTC system interfaces and integration challenges.
• Proven track record in managing subsystem interfaces in complex, safety-critical projects.
