To create a better future, you need to think outside the box. That’s why we at Siemens need innovators who aren’t afraid to push boundaries to join our diverse team of tech gurus. Got what it takes? Then help us create lasting, positive impact!

Siemens Mobility in the UK is delivering a £1.4bn Deep Tube Upgrade Programme (DTUP) contract to supply, commission and provide lifetime technical services for 94 new trains to operate the London Underground Piccadilly line, with further options for three further lines.

We are seeking to recruit a “Systems Engineer – Train Systems” to join the team.  This role will be developed as an expert in Control, Communications and Information (CCI) systems and will work with customers and Siemens specialist engineers to specify, test, implement and optimise CCI systems during the design, build and commissioning of a new fleet.  The focus of the Systems Engineer - Train Systems role will initially be on DTUP fleets, with scope to work on future fleet orders as they arise.  

The role is based in London working alongside  colleagues in Siemens offices and with customer teams at their various office and depot locations.  It will also require some travel to other Siemens locations, including the state-of-the art factory now built in Goole and centres of Engineering excellence in Germany, UK and elsewhere.

This is a rare opportunity for an enthusiastic engineer to build upon their professional knowledge and become an expert in the latest in train technologies.


You‘ll make a difference by:
  • Developing your expertise in selected train CCI systems and become established as a go-to expert; you will be supported by senior engineers in this development process
  • Taking ownership of the technical aspects of implementing Train CCI systems for the development, commissioning and roll-out of a new fleet
  • Ensuring that all system relevant requirements are aligned between the customer and both internal and  external experts such as suppliers
  • Supporting the development of control software for our innovative rail vehicles
  • Leading the investigation and resolution of complex technical issues with the new fleet 
  • Supporting the commissioning and warranty teams to improve the reliability of the fleet in its early life


Your success will be grounded by:
  • A Bachelor’s degree level qualification in Electrical, Systems or other related engineering discipline (or relevant HNC/HND and significant experience with Rolling Stock or control systems).
  • Typically three years or more working in control systems in a relevant engineering field.
  • Ambition to develop as a technical specialist in rail technology.
  • Willing to travel and be present on Siemens and customer sites.
  • Good stakeholder and user management skills. 
  • Must demonstrate a high-level of initiative and flexibility, with determination to see a task through to completion.
  • Experience in modern Rolling Stock domain knowledge

It would be advantageous to have:
  • Experience and knowledge of modern Rolling Stock  
  • Knowledge of train CCI systems, including Train Control and Monitoring System (TCMS), Customer Information Systems (CIS) and CCTV Siemens on-board Ethernet ‘SIBAS-PN’, and other all on-board control systems. 
  • Experience of new rolling stock introduction  
  • Fluency in English, with German language skills seen as a bonus  


You’ll benefit from …
Our compensation package includes a competitive salary, holiday allowance and pension. We celebrate the fact that our employees are individuals and have different wants and needs. With this in mind, we have a flexible benefits scheme where you can tailor your benefits package to suit you.
