You’re willing to try complex and diverse work.
You have the opportunity to gain a wealth of expertise and a diverse range of skills, providing insight and knowledge without losing sight of your work-life balance or wellbeing.
In this role, you'll:
Provide technical management and engineering stewardship across Sydney Trains’ operational wireless systems, applying Systems Engineering practice throughout the full asset lifecycle. You'll work across wireless systems including 4G and 5G technologies, RF systems, radio network design, antenna subsystems, transmission paths, cabling, and installation on rollingstock and other rail infrastructure associated interfaces.
Lead and contribute to systems engineering and integration activities, including requirements collection, system context and interface definition, architectural mapping, testing activities, configuration change management, and system assurance to ensure wireless systems are delivered fit‑for‑purpose. Your work ensures each wireless system is engineered, integrated and maintained to perform reliably in an operational rail environment.
Support project and program delivery by collaborating with key stakeholders. You’ll play a key role in technical planning, facilitating commissioning and change management for new or upgraded wireless systems, and helping ensure system performance, reliability and integrity over time.
