Our client is a global integrated provider of rail solutions and they are looking a Senior System Validation Engineer to be based in Brisbane.
His/her Mission will be guaranteeing the compliance of complex systems (in terms of number of interfaces and or contract value) to the customer requirements, building the required System Verification and Validation evidences
Main tasks
* Ensure the systematic monitoring of the System Verification and Validation activities on projects, verifying that they are carried out in accordance to National (Australian Code of Practice, ONRSR) and International (CENELEC) Norms and Standards, and to Company policies and processes.
* Guarantee System Verification and Validation for the project as per EN50126 and project requirements.
* Coordinate inputs from different sub-systems development and engineering, system integration, construction and commissioning as required.
* Drive proper analysis, escalation and management of System Verification and Validation issues in projects before the final Delivery.
* Ensure the definition and the issue of the System V&V Plan and Reports.
* Ensure the provision of cost evaluation, planning, constraints and risks of System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities.
* Ensure the planning and execution (in simulation, on target hardware, and in the field) of System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities, on quality, on time and on budget.
* Ensure the accurate and complete tracking of system validation testing defects, using standard database tools.
* Ensure the delivery of System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration documents, needed at project level (e.g. Test Plans, Test Procedures, Test Reports).
* Ensure the coordination with the project team, to guarantee that the System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities are executed in the most effective and efficient manner.
* Ensure the compliance of System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities, with the requirements of customers, certification bodies and safety authorities, and with the RAMS Governance and Company processes.
* Ensure technical support to Project RAMS Managers for management and interface of Independent Safety Assessor, Employer and External Authorities
* Ensure the proper level of independence while defining and implementing the System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities, in compliance with applicable standards and required SILs.
* Ensure the definition of points of contacts in the project teams about System Verification and Validation activities.
* Drive proper analysis, escalation and management of System Verification and Validation issues in projects before the final Delivery.
* Ensure the definition and the issue of the System V&V Plan and Reports.
* Ensure the provision of cost evaluation, planning, constraints and risks of System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities.
* Ensure the planning and execution (in simulation, on target hardware, and in the field) of System Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities, on quality, on time and on budget.
* Ensure the accurate and complete tracking of system validation testing defects, using standard database tools.

* Working knowledge of IXL Application Signaling Principles Testing
* Working knowledge of On-Board Signaling Application Principles Testing
* Capability to integrate and maintain, in laboratory, different equipment and sub systems (sub system
integration and system integration), in order to build the required testing environment. Knowledge about the
Test Processes. Ability to define and execute the test procedures to validate the system requirements and
interfaces. Experience and knowledge in the operational rules of a rail and metro network.
* Capability to ensure the definition of the correct strategy in terms of compliance of specifications to
requirements (Verification), and in terms of test planning and methodologies (Validation). Capability to
ensure the coverage of all the functional and safety critical aspects, in terms of management of
requirements, tests definition, execution and analysis at application level.
* Capability to evaluate the costs, the resources and the time needed to perform the required System
Validation, Testing & Laboratory Integration activities on a specific project. Ability to monitor these three
parameters and suggest corrective measures in order to be complied with the deadlines, quality and safety
targets required.
* Knowledge of methodologies and principles to support the RAMS activities in each phase of the whole project
lifecycle (at both architectural and functional level).
