Electronics Engineer - Transportation Systems Signals📣 Job Ad

About the Role

Antal International is partnering with a leading multinational railway engineering and consulting organization to recruit an experienced Electronics Engineer specializing in Transportation Systems Signals. This role supports a major metro/rail project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, focusing on the review and validation of signaling system designs, technical submittals, and interface documents. The objective is to ensure strict compliance with contract requirements, safety standards, and operational performance criteria. The successful candidate will contribute to the seamless integration and safe operation of complex railway signaling systems within a large-scale transit environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and validate signalling system designs, technical submittals, and interface documents to ensure compliance with Contract requirements, safety standards, and operational performance criteria.
• Coordinate signalling system integration across ATC/ATO, CBTC/communications systems, track circuits, switches/points, PSDs, rolling stock, and station systems to ensure seamless automated operations.
• Support testing & commissioning activities, including Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), system integration tests, dynamic tests, and trial running, specifically related to signalling performance and safety.
• Participate in inspections, NCR management, compliance checks, and quality oversight of signalling system installation, configuration, and performance verification.
• Assess signalling-related hazards, failure modes, and risk mitigation actions in alignment with RAMS, SIL requirements, and safety assurance obligations for transit systems.
• Ensure that signalling systems support operational requirements, including headways, speed profiles, degraded modes, emergency functions, and system reliability expectations.
• Coordinate closely with rolling stock, telecoms, power, track, OCC/TCC, and broader transit systems teams to resolve interface issues and ensure signalling readiness for revenue service.
• Prepare technical reports, integration logs, risk assessments, and commissioning progress documentation in line with PMCM reporting obligations.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Extensive experience with railway signalling systems, ATC/ATO, CBTC technologies, or comparable transit signalling environments.
• Strong understanding of signalling system integration across rolling stock, telecoms, platform screen doors, power supply, track, and OCC/TCC operations.
• Demonstrated ability to review signalling engineering documents, interface control documents, hazard analyses, test reports, NCRs, and commissioning deliverables.
• Familiarity with RAMS frameworks, SIL classifications, safety standards (*, EN 50126/50129), and signalling safety assurance requirements.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to evaluate signalling performance, troubleshoot issues, and ensure compliance with operational and safety requirements.
• Excellent communication and coordination abilities for effective collaboration across PMCM teams, the Contractor, O&M Entity, and Employer representatives.
• High degree of professionalism, attention to detail, and adaptability within a complex, multi-contract automated metro megaproject environment.
