System Architect

System Architect (Ref.No. R ) at our location in Singapore The System Architect (Project Design Authority) plays a critical role in designing and implementing secure, scalable, and high-performance network solutions for train system-related subsystems, including CCTV, Passenger Announcement Systems, Master Clock, SCADA, Tetra Radio and other critical infrastructure. This role ensures that the overall architecture aligns with project requirements, regulatory frameworks, and industry best practices. This position reports functionally to the Engineering Director and operationally to the Project Manager while interfacing with various stakeholders, including internal technical teams, vendors, and customers. He/she interfaces with the Technical Directorate from the Business Line as representative of the technical solution for a project or bid solution. You will enjoy having these responsibilities: Design and oversee the architecture of network solutions that integrate with train control and station subsystems such as CCTV, Passenger Information Systems (PIS), Public Announcement (PA) systems, and Master Clock synchronization. Ensure network infrastructure and overall system solutions meets security, performance, and redundancy requirements for mission-critical transportation systems. Conduct trade studies to evaluate design alternatives, ensuring compliance with regulatory and industry standards. Collaborate closely with system integrators, software developers, and hardware vendors to define and implement optimal solutions. Lead discussions with customers and internal teams to define system and subsystem requirements and architecture. Provide technical guidance and approval for system architecture, ensuring alignment with business and operational needs. Oversee the documentation of designs to meet project and customer requirements. Review and evaluate third-party solutions for compatibility with Hitachi Rail’s ground transportation systems. Drive multi-project synergies to optimize the cost and efficiency of technical solutions. Define policies, standards, and best practices for engineering teams in collaboration with the Systems Engineering Manager.
