Could you be the full-time ATC Application Design Engineer (f/m/d) in Hamburg or Berlin we’re looking for?
Your future role
Take on a new challenge and apply your software and system engineering expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside dynamic, collaborative, and solution-oriented teammates.
You'll play a key role in customizing and delivering Automatic Train Control (ATC) applications for our projects. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with cross-functional teams across the business (e.g., system engineering, software, validation, and project teams), translate system requirements into application data, and contribute to delivering high-quality, safe signalling solutions.
You’ll specifically take care of defining and validating ATC application data and parameters, but also support interface design and technical coordination with internal teams and external stakeholders.
We’ll look for you to:
• Define, produce, and validate ATC application data and parameters for project-specific solutions
• Translate system and design requirements into application data models, especially for urban signalling projects
• Configure and adapt generic ATC software to meet project needs
• Produce engineering documentation and drawings, including system interfaces and interconnections
• Support supplier activities and provide technical assistance when required
• Contribute to safety analyses by providing accurate configuration data
• Ensure quality, consistency, and traceability of application data deliverables
• Support defect analysis, root cause identification, and corrective actions
All about you
We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:
• Degree in engineering (electronics, embedded systems, software engineering, or equivalent)
• Experience with complex real-time or safety-critical systems (e.g., signalling, avionics, defence)
• Understanding of software engineering principles, tools, and configuration processes
• Knowledge or interest in ATC or railway signalling systems
• Ability to analyze defects and propose effective solutions
• Strong communication skills in English; German is a plus
• Familiarity with system interfaces (e.g., rolling stock, interlocking) is an advantage
• A structured, solution-oriented mindset with attention to detail
