at our location in Singapore


GTS has modernized Singapore's oldest and longest railway lines by commissioning a state of the art communication based train control (CBTC) system for the North-South and East-West lines.

The work has a direct impact on commuter experience with improvements such as shorter intervals between trains, less service disruptions, and faster travel times.

You will be working as a Signalling Design Engineer within the System Design team.

The work performed is often focused on the station, trackside electrical and mechanical design artefacts such as wiring diagrams, cable layouts, CAD drawings, physical trackside hardware, and signalling routing tables.

The team also designs interfaces to various equipment and third parties such as platform screen doors, legacy signalling system, emergency stop plungers, signal lights, switches and others.


You will work closely with the Installation, Testing and Commissioning team, Procurement team and others in support of the overall objectives.


You will enjoy having these responsibilities:

  • Translate Customer requirements into conceptual designs and prepare associated documentation by performing operational analyses, simulations and technical trade-off studies identifying alternative design configurations and functional features.
  • Prepare, update, and review interface schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, block diagrams, I/O bitmaps, track scheme plans, cable routing designs, bill of materials, and other analysis required for design of signalling systems
  • Support interface with other system wide contractors (eg. Platform Screen Doors, Civil, Trackworks, Comms, power, etc.) and write Interface Control Documents
  • Prepare and review test procedures and support investigation of systems/subsystem issues raised during testing or during revenue service.
  • Ensure safety is built into the design at each step.
  • Supported by the Project Design Authority, deliver technical presentations to internal and external engineering/management groups in clear, complete, concise and nonambiguous terms.
  • Support technical proposals based on knowledge of past projects, customer requirements and signalling design principles.
  • Support site activities such as surveys and investigations if the need for experts arises.
  • Opportunity exists to support and learn about other hardware design domains within Ground Transportation Solutions including trainborne, mechanical, networking, and power.

You have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Signalling Enginering or equivalent
  • Experience with the following is desirable:
  • 3+ years working experience
  • Experience with drafting tools such as Auto CAD, Micro station and Solid works
  • Knowledge of railway signalling industry standards or certificate in Institute of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE)
  • Good interpersonal skills, writing and verbal skills, people supervision skills
  • Ability to work within an international environment with different time zone
  • Ability to travel and contribute to delivery of CBTC projects in Asia (eg. Malaysia)
Our Talent Acquisition Team is looking forward to hearing from you
