This position is intended for a candidate who can operate at a mid-level to senior level with a blend of technical depth and project delivery capability. In addition to vehicle-related assignments, the role will also support signaling and train control efforts such as CBTC/ATC/ATS technical reviews, owner-side support, subsystem interface management, implementation coordination, and related system integration activities across vehicle and signaling scopes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead or support systems integration activities for transit vehicle and infrastructure programs, including interface management, compatibility assessments, and coordination with clients, manufacturers, signaling suppliers, and project teams.

  • Perform and manage technical design reviews of vehicle, systems, signaling, and infrastructure submittals, drawings, calculations, and related documentation for transit and rail procurements, upgrades, or modernization programs.

  • Support vehicle-infrastructure and vehicle-signaling interface engineering, including evaluation of design constraints, field conditions, conceptual design changes, and implementation impacts.

  • Support signaling and train control assignments involving CBTC, ATC, ATS, related subsystems, training support, and owner-side technical services for implementation and closeout activities.

  • Facilitate coordination across owners, suppliers, planners, operations personnel, and internal multidisciplinary teams to build consensus and resolve technical issues.

  • Help improve technical workflows, document control practices, and delivery processes for large, document-intensive transit and signaling programs.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering; Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Transportation, or similar disciplines are acceptable.

  • 8+ years of relevant experience supporting transit, rail, rolling stock, signaling, bus, or transportation infrastructure programs at a level consistent with a mid-level or senior engineering role.

  • Experience in one or more of the following areas: systems integration, vehicle-interface engineering, transit vehicle or rail design review, signaling or train control support, testing and commissioning, fleet planning, or operational analysis.

  • Ability to coordinate technical work across multiple disciplines, including vehicle, infrastructure, and signaling / train control stakeholders.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to coordinate across clients, suppliers, and internal technical teams.

  • Ability to manage multiple technical workstreams, organize reviews, and provide clear design direction or technical recommendations.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional Engineer (PE) registration.

  • Master's degree in Transportation or related field.

  • Experience with transit vehicle procurements, streetcar or rail vehicle programs, vehicle-infrastructure compatibility, or transit systems implementation.

  • Experience supporting signaling, train control, or owner-side technical services for CBTC, ATS, ATC, train control modernization, or related rail systems work.
