Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Design Engineer - OHE & SCADA to join our dynamic railway engineering team. This role is critical in the design, development, and optimization of Overhead Equipment (OHE) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for modern railway and metro infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in both AC (1x25kV & 2x25kV) and DC (750V) traction power systems, with proven experience in railway system design, particularly in metro and high-speed rail environments. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety, reliability, efficiency, and compliance of electrification systems across complex rail networks. Your work will directly impact the performance and scalability of next-generation rail systems, contributing to seamless, sustainable, and high-capacity urban and intercity transit solutions. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects within a rapidly evolving industry, where innovation and precision are paramount.





Responsibilities:

- Lead the design, detailing, and optimization of Overhead Line Equipment (OHE) systems for 1x25kV and 2x25kV AC railway electrification networks.

- Develop and manage SCADA system architecture and integration for traction power supply networks, ensuring real-time monitoring, control, and fault detection.

- Prepare detailed technical specifications, design calculations, and engineering estimates for OHE and SCADA components.

- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers to ensure seamless integration of OHE and SCADA systems within broader railway infrastructure.

- Conduct site assessments and feasibility studies for new electrification projects, particularly in metro and urban rail environments.

- Ensure compliance with international standards (IEC, IEEE, EN, etc.) and national railway regulations for electrical safety, performance, and reliability.

- Support tender documentation, technical evaluations, and vendor coordination for procurement of OHE and SCADA equipment.

- Perform system simulations and load-flow studies to validate design performance under varying operational conditions.

- Provide technical support during construction, commissioning, and handover phases,



resolving design-related issues promptly.

- Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends in railway electrification and smart grid integration for rail systems.

Requirements

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Railway Engineering, or a closely related field.

- Minimum of 6 years of progressive experience in railway electrification system design, with a focus on OHE and SCADA systems.

- Proven expertise in the design and analysis of 1x25kV and 2x25kV AC traction power systems, as well as 750V DC systems for metro and rail applications.

- In-depth knowledge of ROCS (Railway Overhead Contact System) design principles, including catenary geometry, mechanical clearances, and agile performance.

- Hands-on experience with SCADA system design, including communication protocols (IEC 61850, Modbus, etc.), redundancy planning, and cyber-security considerations.

- Proficiency in industry-standard design and simulation software (e.g., ETAP, PSCAD, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or similar).

- Strong understanding of railway system design standards and codes (e.g., UIC, CENELEC, AAR, or national railway authorities).

- Experience working on metro or high-capacity rail projects is highly desirable.

- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple deliverables under tight deadlines.

- Strong communication and collaboration abilities, with experience presenting technical designs to stakeholders and clients.

- Willingness to travel to project sites and support field activities when required.
