Lead and contribute to systems engineering and integration activities, including requirements collection, system context and interface definition, architectural mapping, testing activities, configuration change management, and system assurance to ensure wireless systems are delivered fit‑for‑purpose. Your work ensures each wireless system is engineered, integrated and maintained to perform reliably in an operational rail environment.

Support project and program delivery by collaborating with key stakeholders. You’ll play a key role in technical planning, facilitating commissioning and change management for new or upgraded wireless systems, and helping ensure system performance, reliability and integrity over time.
