WSP is looking to solve the technical authority for the review, coordination, and oversight of all CBTC design and system integration activities for the MTA Headquarters in New York.
Requirements
- Deep understanding of CBTC architecture, including vital/non-vital subsystems, interlockings, ATS, telecoms, and OCC interfaces.
- Experience with requirements management tools (e.g., DOORS) and configuration control processes.
- Experience in CBTC technology with a minimum of 5 years of CBTC Project experience.
- Full understanding of vital and non-vital signal logic, relay-based control circuits, and their translation into CBTC subsystem software.
- Working knowledge of interlocking design, block layouts, overlap logic, and control line functions.
- Understanding of test sequencing, verification, and validation of signaling systems within mixed-mode operation.
- Familiarity with Interface Interoperability Specification (I2S) and NYCT’s signal design standards.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership of the CBTC design and implementation process, ensuring compliance with Authority requirements, project standards, and best practices.
- Evaluate and guide system architecture decisions for CBTC subsystems, including vital/non-vital software, interlocking logic, ATS, telecoms, OCC, and train borne equipment.
- Collaborate with the requirements management team to ensure requirements traceability and validation across all subsystems and interface control points.
- Review supplier and designer deliverables for technical completeness, ensuring system designs align with CENELEC (EN 50126/8/9), IEEE 1474, and FTA standards.
- Assess design impacts, risks, and dependencies across contracts; provide recommendations for mitigation and integration.
- Coordinate with NYCT operations, safety, and maintenance stakeholders to ensure the design supports operational efficiency, maintainability, and interoperability.
- Support and review the development of the System Integration Plan, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and verification/validation documentation.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field
- 10+ years of relevant post education experience in engineering, prior transit and rail experience, and infrastructure design.
- Occasional travel may be required depending on project-specific requirements.
- Strong ability to quickly adapt to change and demonstrate flexibility to a variety of schedules and hours to meet business needs.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States.
