Job Description
Req ID:474458
At Alstom we understand transport networks and what moves people. From highspeed trains metros monorails and trams to turnkey systems services infrastructure signalling and digital mobility we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day more than 80 000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.
Purpose:
- The Interlocking (IXL) is a system composed by Mechanical Electromechanical Electric Electronic and Software components having the aim to ensure safe movements of trains.
- The purpose of the job is the identification and analysis of the customer and product requirements with the final target to define and design standardized IXL architectures (functional physical and operational) and the related configurations of the IXL equipment (prefitted concept) suitable for Tenders prototyping series production and project deployment.
- The IXL System designer takes part to deployment of projects in case of specific issues or needs are identified along the project lifecycle requiring correcting/evolutive actions on the IXL architecture and prefitted solutions with focus during the first deployment of the architecture/solution ensuring proper verification and continuous improvement.
Key accountabilities:
- In cooperation with Project IXL leads / PrEM / project development team
- capture the customer requirements
- capture all the internal and external interfaces of the IXL system
- capture the complexity of the yard layouts to be managed by the IXL system
- capture the environmental/climatic installation conditions of the IXL system
- identify the trackside equipment to be controlled and detected and the application conditions related to the trackside engineering
- identify the migration needs to be satisfied by the IXL solution (in case of brownfield project)
- evaluate the space constraints for the installation of the prefitted configurations of the IXL solution
- take into account the work methods constraints for the installation of the prefitted configurations of the IXL solution
- capture the IXL product application conditions
- capture the IXL product functional features and capabilities
- Project solution definition
- define among the available Alstom range of products or their evolutions the components of the IXL system to satisfy the customer requirements;
- define and lead the design of the prefitted solution of Central Interlocking Computer Remote Area Controllers and Safe HMI Clients in terms of racks and cubicle housing internal cabling power supply needs and interfaces towards other subsystems/equipment;
- Lead the activities for the production of documents to permit the correct assembly and offsite testing (FAT) of the project solution;
- define the IXL equipment breakdown (racks electronic actuators power supply cabling) of the project solution
- ensure the application and adherence to the reference processes applicable to the solution design methods & tools requesting deviations whenever appropriate;
- ensure the design follows relevant project standards.
- Support Installation and T&C teams during the first installation of the solution and its testing. Takes into account the REX from the on site activities using them for continuous improvement of solution and documentation.
- Share and spread the knowledge of the IXL system features to the project engineering community;
- Represent Alstom in front of customers for instance to provide detailed explanation of the IXL architecture solution and features;
- Select and manage subcontractors (if any);
- Manage work packages or WP tasks assigned for the definition of new IXL architecture and prefitted solutions.
Educational Requirements:
- Engineering Bachelors degree in Electrical Electronic Automation Engineering or related technical discipline
- P. Eng certification or in progress
- Good analytical skill and previous experience in system design & integration are required. In alternative you will have an experience as Project IXL Design leader or signaling product designer;
- Knowledge of IXL Systems CBTC safety principles and power supply background.
- 510 years in relevant positions (systems / subsystems application design or integration electrotechnical product development) in a highly complex and normative environment (railway signaling aerospace defense).
Desirable
- Knowledge of IXL Alstom product;
- IXL application design;
- More than 10 years in relevant positions (systems / subsystems application design or integration electrotechnical product development) in a highly complex and normative environment (railway signaling aerospace defense) would be a major asset.
- Ontario P.Eng or in progress.
