Job DescriptionWho will you be working with?You will be part of Modular Control Architecture (MCA) software team. The MCA SW architecture is highly flexible, made up of many modular software, application, and hardware elements. While flexibility adds opportunity and capability, it also adds complexity, driving the importance of a robust platform SW and communication strategy. MCA is built on MBSE (Model Based System Engineering) principles for requirements management and test cases with full traceability built into the MBSE model. How will you make a difference? The Engineering Technical Leader is responsible for the development and integration of ethernet communication networks supporting the locomotive control system. This role focuses on ensuring robust, reliable, secure, and scalable data exchange between distributed controllers, including locomotive supervisory controls, propulsion controls, engine controllers, I/O modules, and external interfaces. Operating within the MCA (Modular Control Architecture) team, this role bridges network architecture, control system behavior, and validation, ensuring network communication supports locomotive control, performance, and cybersecurity expectations across multiple locomotive platforms. What do we want to know about you?Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experienceMinimum of 5 years of relevant engineering experienceExperience with networked control systems, including embedded communications, Ethernet-based networking, switch protocols, timing, synchronization, and interface definitionExperience in system integration and/or system validationProficiency with DDS, INCA, MATLAB/Simulink, and GitLab-based source repositories preferredWorking knowledge of Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) using SysML and familiarity with INCOSE systems engineering best practices preferredAbility to support hands‑on validation in simulation labs and on‑locomotive environments What will your typical day look like? Lead the development of the control system network architecture, including data flows, protocols, bandwidth allocation, timing, and redundancy.Own the integration of distributed control nodes across locomotive control system networksEvaluate and manage network impacts of new features, software updates, and hardware changes.Develop and execute network-centric system integration test plans across SIL, HIL, lab, and on‑locomotive environments.Validate network performance against latency, jitter, throughput, synchronization, and availability requirements.Investigate and resolve cross-system communication issues, including message loss, timing instability, packet congestion, and fault recovery behavior.Collaborate with cross functional teams to ensure consistent interface definitions and assumptions.Ensure alignment between logical architectures and physical network implementations.Plan individual work for assigned features as input to project plans.Execute development activities with cross functional team to ensure design status, readiness, adequacy, and test asset availabilityConduct test plan and integration result design reviewsCommunicate status on system architecture and stability to engineering leadership You may also be asked to perform other duties outside of your function or trade, for which adequate training will be provided if necessary. More information on offered benefits, which include health, welfare, and retirement, is available at mywabtecbenefits.com. Relocation assistance may be provided if eligibility requirements are met. Wabtec will only employ those who are legally authorized to work in the U.S. for this opening.
