For more than 160 years, Siemens has been an integral provider of infrastructure, electrification, and transportation solutions in the United States. Automation's impact on the railway industry is second only to the effects of digitalization. Combine them and the results are transformative! We work at the leading edge of this movement, applying our validated expertise in digitalization to rail infrastructure and automation. Our innovative solutions deliver greater safety, punctuality, reliability, and sustainability across the line, all while reducing costs for mass transit and freight transportation systems. We are continuously developing new answers for rail automation - often to questions that haven't been asked yet.

We are hiring for a Senior Systems Engineer for the Rail Infrastructure (RI) R&D team in the domain of large, complex back-office software systems.

What your day-to-day will look like:

• Develops the detailed, specific, technical requirements for large-scale complex back-office software systems.
