We are looking for System Interface Manager – Kavach Product Development

The System Interface Manager will be responsible for defining, managing, and coordinating all technical and functional interfaces within the Kavach Automatic Train Protection (ATP) product development program. This role ensures seamless integration of subsystems, onboard and trackside equipment, and external vendor components. The focus will be on maintaining clear and robust Interface Control Documents (ICDs), ensuring interoperability, and driving alignment between engineering domains throughout the product lifecycle.

The role requires strong systems engineering expertise, interface management skills, and cross-functional coordination capabilities, with an emphasis on delivering a safety-critical, SIL-4 compliant system for Indian Railways.

You’ll make a difference by

• Interface Definition & Control: Develop, document, and maintain Interface Control Documents (ICDs) covering onboard, trackside, and cross-vendor interfaces.
• Define interface requirements and ensure consistency across hardware, software, and communication subsystems.
• Ensure interoperability between Kavach onboard and trackside systems, and compatibility with third-party solutions.
• Manage interface baselines and ensure alignment with evolving system architecture.
• Requirements & Change Management:Capture, analyse, and validate interface-related requirements from customer, regulatory, and operational inputs.
• Ensure interface traceability throughout the system lifecycle in compliance with EN 50126/8/9 and Indian Railway standards.
• Manage interface change requests, impact assessments, and configuration control.
• Integration & Verification: Support integration planning and execution for subsystem and system-level interfaces.
• Collaborate with engineering teams during lab testing, field validation, and commissioning phases.
• Define and supervise interface verification & validation (V&V) strategies, ensuring compliance with SIL-4 safety integrity requirements.
• Safety & Compliance: Collaborate with safety teams to identify and mitigate interface-related hazards.
• Support preparation of safety cases, hazard logs, and compliance documentation for independent safety assessment (ISA) and RDSO approval.
• Ensure interface designs adhere to relevant functional safety standards (EN 50126, EN 50128, EN 50129, EN 50159).
• Stakeholder & Vendor Coordination: Act as the single point of contact for interface-related issues with internal teams, suppliers, and Indian Railways stakeholders.
• Drive technical discussions to resolve interface conflicts and risks.
• Provide regular reporting on interface status, risks, and dependencies to project management.

Desired Skills:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical, Electronics, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or Railway Engineering (or equivalent).
• 8–12 years of experience in railway signalling, ATP, ETCS, CBTC, or other safety-critical system development.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in system engineering or interface management roles.
• Proven track record in managing subsystem interfaces in complex, safety-critical projects.
• Experience with requirements management and configuration tools (e.g., DOORS, JIRA).
• Strong understanding of ATP/ETCS/CBTC system interfaces and integration challenges.
• Knowledge of train-to-trackside communication protocols and interoperability requirements.
• Familiarity with RAMS, hazard analysis, and safety verification practices.
• Expertise in CENELEC EN 50126/50128/50129/50159 standards.
• Excellent coordination, negotiation, and conflict resolution abilities.
• Strong communication skills to manage diverse stakeholders.
• Ability to manage dependencies across multiple technical domains.
