By joining our team, you’ll make an impact by performing a variety of technical tasks related to electrical and system engineering aspects of rail and transit projects for Jacobs clients. You’ll help with supporting and leading project deliverables that are in conformance with applicable requirements, as well as within project time scales. Help us by supporting the delivery of multidisciplinary complex system and infrastructure-related projects involving rail rolling stocks (car and locomotives), signal, power, communication, and other systems. We’ll look to you to act as one of the company’s prime contacts with the client and be responsible for overall work progress and technical performance on the project.
• Support the design, testing, and implementation of rail and transit systems, including network systems, train control systems (including CBTC), communication systems, passenger information systems, and monitoring and diagnostic systems.
• Provide engineering support of procurements for both new and overhauled rail transit vehicles. Responsible for resolving design and system integration issues on transit vehicle projects. The engineer will support both office and field-based activities, including technology assessments, writing specifications, evaluating vendors, design reviews, troubleshooting, and problem resolution, testing support, and failure investigations.
• Lead the system integration team to ensure seamless coordination of among clients, contractors, and system suppliers. Address and resolve project issues, ensuring clear communication and efficient issue resolution.
• Perform interdisciplinary reviews to verify coordination with associated disciplines for each submittal package.
• Coordinate and develop positive relationships with contractors and their staff.
