About The Position

Siemens Mobility is seeking an experienced Senior CBTC Technical Manager ready to grow their impact in rail technology. In this visible role, you will lead CBTC technical strategy across complex transit projects, using your deep, hands-on expertise in CBTC equipment architecture, wayside/onboard hardware and software, system integration, testing, commissioning, and customer collaboration. This is an opportunity to apply your Siemens and rail systems knowledge to influence key design decisions, guide project teams, and help deliver safe, reliable, and innovative mobility solutions. This is a deep technical engineering leadership role focused specifically on CBTC signaling and train control equipment. Candidates with background solely in general project management, traditional relay/fixed-block signaling, IT networking, or telecom infrastructure—without direct technical mastery of CBTC equipment—will not be considered.

Requirements

10+ years of direct technical experience, engineering, designing, or configuring CBTC train control equipment (wayside and/or onboard sub-systems). This experience should be across design, integration, testing, commissioning, and deployment.
Proven technical leadership in CBTC, systems engineering, integration, or related rail infrastructure roles.
Strong background in requirements management, interface management, system V&V, migration planning, and revenue service implementation.
Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams across signaling, train control, communications, cybersecurity, safety, and infrastructure disciplines.
Ability to guide customers and project teams through technical decisions, risk management, change control, compliance, and complex system-level issue resolution.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on engineering or design experience with specific CBTC vendor equipment architectures (e.g., vital processing units, ATP/ATO bay architecture, radio communication units, interlocking logic).
Experience delivering CBTC projects for major transit agencies and/or prior experience with Siemens Mobility, Alstom, Hitachi Rail, Thales, Wabtec, Bombardier Transportation, Ansaldo STS, or similar rail signaling organizations is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

Serve as the technical authority for vital and non-vital CBTC systems, leading system architecture, hardware/software design of wayside and onboard equipment, requirements management, subsystem integration, and technical decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Act as the customer's trusted technical advisor, driving technical discussions, resolving complex system-level equipment issues, and ensuring solutions align with operational, contractual, and performance requirements.
Lead multidisciplinary systems engineering and integration teams across CBTC signaling, train control hardware/software, communications, cybersecurity, and safety disciplines to deliver complex rail infrastructure projects.
Oversee end-to-end CBTC integration, verification & validation, testing, migration, commissioning, and revenue service implementation, ensuring successful deployment of safety-critical train control systems.
Drive technical governance and project success by leading change control activities, managing technical risks, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and providing strategic technical guidance to project leadership and customers.
