Could you be the full-time ATC System Designer in Charleroi we’re looking for?

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your expertise in designing Automatic Train Control (ATC) systems in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative, innovative, and detail-oriented teammates.

You'll play a key role in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of trains by developing ATC system architecture and defining critical requirements. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as the Project Core Team, Project Engineering Team, and System Product Team), lead design reviews, and investigate verification and validation test results to identify and address issues, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of designing system specifications, architecture, and interfaces, but also ensuring ATC configurations are ready for testing.

We’ll look to you for:

• Designing ATC systems and providing related documentation (e.g., specifications, architecture, interface descriptions).


• Leading ATC design reviews to ensure quality and alignment with project goals.


• Ensuring ATC configurations are prepared and validated for testing processes.


• Investigating verification and validation (V&V) test failures and proposing corrective actions.


• Ensuring adherence to project QCD (Quality, Cost, and Delivery) commitments.


• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to support root cause analysis and address system requirements traceability.

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role:

• A degree in engineering (electronics, embedded systems, or equivalent).


• Experience in complex real-time systems, such as signalling, avionics, defense, or safety-related systems.


• Knowledge of system engineering, including specification and requirements development.


• Familiarity with software engineering methods and tools for configuring generic ATC software.


• Proficiency in defect analysis and the ability to propose corrective solutions.


• Strong English communication skills (verbal and written).


• Ability to work transversally with engineering teams, demonstrating autonomy and coordination skills.


• Proactive mindset with a focus on problem-solving and continuous improvement.

Things you’ll enjoy Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Enjoy stability, challenges, and a long-term career free from boring daily routines.


• Work with new security standards for rail signalling.


• Collaborate with transverse teams and helpful colleagues.


• Contribute to innovative projects that shape the future of mobility.


• Utilise our inclusive and flexible working environment.


• Steer your career in whatever direction you choose across functions and countries.


• Benefit from our investment in your development, through award-winning learning opportunities.


• Progress towards roles such as ATC Design Leader or other engineering leadership positions.


• Benefit from a fair and dynamic reward package that recognises your performance and potential, plus comprehensive and competitive social coverage (life, medical, pension).

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
