This role requires collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams, regulatory bodies, and project stakeholders to deliver compliant, high-performing rail infrastructure and technology solutions across Canada.

Key Responsibilities

Systems Engineering

  • Develop and manage system requirements, specifications, and architectures for railway projects (e.g., signalling, train control, traction power, communications, and SCADA systems).

  • Conduct system-level analyses including performance, reliability, maintainability, and safety.
  • Manage interfaces between multiple subsystems and suppliers to ensure seamless integration.

Project Execution

  • Participate in design reviews, hazard analyses, and safety assurance activities.
  • Develop and maintain system documentation such as interface control documents (ICDs), verification and validation plans, and test procedures.
  • Collaborate with project managers to identify risks, propose mitigations, and ensure technical deliverables meet schedule and quality standards

Regulatory & Standards Compliance

  • Ensure compliance with Transport Canada, CSA, ISO/IEC, and railway-specific standards (e.g., CENELEC EN 50126/50128/50129 or AREMA).
  • Support safety certification and approvals in coordination with regulatory authorities and independent safety assessors (ISA).
  • Stakeholder Communication
  • Serve as a technical point of contact for clients, suppliers, and cross-functional teams.
  • Present technical findings and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.

Experience:

  • 9-15 years of relevant engineering experience, preferably within the railway, transportation, or heavy infrastructure industries.
  • Proven experience in systems engineering processes (requirements management, integration, testing, verification, and validation).
  • Experience with railway systems such as CBTC, PTC, ETCS, or conventional signalling preferred.
  • Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools and methodologies (e.g., DOORS, Enterprise Architect, MATLAB/Simulink) considered an asset.

Certifications:

  • Eligible for registration as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in a Canadian province or territory.

Skills & Competencies
