PLATFORM ENGINEER RAIL SIGNALLING

Siemens Mobility is a separately managed company of Siemens.
As a leader in transport solutions for more than 160 years, Siemens Mobility is constantly innovating its portfolio in its core areas of rolling stock, rail automation and electrification, turnkey systems, intelligent traffic systems as well as related services.
With digitalization, Siemens Mobility is enabling mobility operators worldwide to make infrastructure intelligent, increase value sustainably over the entire lifecycle, enhance passenger experience and guarantee availability.
Mobility Management, Turnkey Projects & Electrification, Mainline Transport, Urban Transport and Customer Services.
They have the know-how to make road traffic flow more smoothly and quickly, make trains more environmentally friendly and efficient, make train schedules and freight shipments more reliable.
We work with our customers to develop optimal solutions to help overcome their challenges.
Our Platform Engineers design robust, reliable, and resilient infrastructures to support our customer’s signalling systems, complying with the demanding standards that must be fulfilled in railway projects.
They analyse customer’s needs, requirements, and products’ application conditions, in order to specify the adequate hardware platform on which the system should run to achieve the best performance.
They define the redundancy and high availability mechanisms that will provide the system with adequate reliability and resilience.
They prepare the automatic deployment mechanisms to easily configure the equipment that will be delivered to the customer.
The Platform Engineer configures and fine-tunes the underlaying Linux OS, hardens the system, carries out vulnerability analysis and manages security patching in such a critical infrastructure.
Join our team and we will foster your continuing professional development and an exchange with colleagues from all over the world.
One thing is certain.
your ideas will not be filed away, but almost always find their way into company practice.
