As part of ERTMS railway projects, we are seeking a Validation Engineer to work on the validation activities of the RBC (Radio Block Centre) configuration. The consultant will integrate with the system/validation teams to verify the conformity of the RBC configuration with functional specifications, project data, and applicable ERTMS rules. Prior experience with ERTMS Level 1 is required to ensure a good understanding of ETCS principles, signaling data, and railway validation processes.

Main missions

• Analyze the functional specifications and system ERTMS / ETCS.
• Analyze the data and parameters necessary for the operation of the RBC.
• Verify the consistency of the RBC settings with the project input data.
• Prepare and write the validation plans, procedures and scenarios.
• D. Define the test cases that cover the functional requirements.
• Carry out validation campaigns on the platform/simulator.
• Verify the system's behavior under different operating scenarios.
• Analyze the test results and identify deviations from expected behavior.
• Investigate anomalies related to system settings, data, or behavior.
• To declare, document and follow up on anomalies until their resolution.
• Perform non-regression tests after correction or evolution of the parameter.
• Ensure traceability of test case requirements and validation results.
• Participate in technical reviews with the system, software, configuration and validation teams.
• Produce validation reports and summaries.

Research skills

Rail / ERTMS

• Good knowledge of the ERTMS / ETCS environment.
• Significant experience in ERTMS Level 1.
• Understanding the principles of railway signalling.
• Knowledge of railway functional validation processes.
• Knowledge of RBC/ETCS Level 2 is a real advantage.

Validation

• System and functional requirements analysis.
• Drafting of test plans and procedures.
• Definition and execution of validation scenarios.
