System Engineer

Location: Singapore, Singapore Thales people architect solutions that support 85 million mainline and suburban passenger journeys, worldwide, every day. Our Rail Signalling and Communication systems are used on metro lines across major cities, and 72,000 kms of route, 52,000 trains per day in 16 countries are controlled by our Traffic Management Systems. Together We deployed the first-ever nationwide ticketing system which processes over 50 million ticketing transactions in 100 cities daily. Thales established its presence in Singapore in 1973 to support the expansion of aerospace-related activities in the Asia-Pacific region. Throughout the last four decades, the company grew from strength to strength and is today involved in the primary businesses of Aerospace (including Air Traffic Management), Defence & Security, Ground Transportation and Digital Identity & Security. Thales today employs over 2,100 people in Singapore across all its business areas. Position Summary: System designs of Communications subsystems requires competent system designers who have track records of completed design works of at least one project with scale and complexity similar to that of the typical metro railway project. System Engineers with designated domain knowledge are expected to produce detailed design and implement respective systems for Transportation project. He will be involved with complex and difficult designs following established system engineering process The System Engineer is responsible for design activities required to develop a solution or product. He analyses the customer’s and other stakeholders’ needs whatever the used means (e.g. advanced studies, simulations, mock-ups, models, prototypes,) - Describes the missions, functions and requirements on the sub-system - Formalises the specification and the architectural design to develop the sub-system - Prepares and performs the solution or product integration, verification and validation tests. The System Engineer will have to specialise in Public Address System (PAS) and Passenger Information Display System (PIDS) Situation in the Organization: This System Engineer member of the Engineering team, reports to the Engineering Manager or the Project Design Authority on the day to day Bids and Project Activities Key Figures: N.A. Context (stakes & specific issues): - Transportation Project ( Mainline, MRT, LRT ) - Large project requiring multiple international entities. Main Tasks & Responsibilities: Design, specify & costing of detailed Subsystem, including - Interpreting customer requirement and producing fully detailed & compliant design. - Interfacing with customer engineer for design definition. - Interfacing with other system-wide designers for service definition. - Interfacing with suppliers and vendors for product definition. - Evaluating and costing of the most suitable products and system. During site implementation, testing & commissioning - Leading the commissioning activities on site, as well as producing the commissioning documentation - Providing support to the installation and maintenance works. Keep track of progress of all design & interface tasks - Carrying out all assigned work efficiently, with a minimum of supervision, - Expediting response and deliverables (documents & including engineering drawings, specifications, design reports and calculations, equipment details and other project information). Specific knowledge for Communication System - Passenger Information Display System (PIDS), Passenger Announcement System (PAS) QUALIFICATIONS - Tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics Engineering or related discipline (essential) - Diploma or Degree in Electrical / Electronic / Telecommunications Engineering (preferred) - Strong advantage on following Professional qualifications ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCE Working Experience (Industry, specialization, type, min no. of years) - >1 Years of direct experience in designing and implementing telecommunications networks. - Completed design works of at least one project with scale and complexity similar to that of the Metro railway market segment (Advantage ) Technical skills and expertise in several of the following technologies and areas of knowledge would be valuable: - Knowledge and experience with both Public Address System, Passenger Information display system, networking, and cabling infrastructure - Proficiency with computers, networks and 3rd party software ( Microsoft word/Excel) - Knowledge and experience with drawing tools such as Visio - Experience with PA Coverage Design Tools such as EASE will be an advantage
