Project Manager Train & Railway System

Leonberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

About

I am a senior project and systems engineer with more than 13 years of experience delivering complex mobility, electrification, and railway technology projects. My background spans ePowertrain systems, vehicle simulation, system engineering, and large‑scale customer project management across Europe, Asia, and the USA. Currently, I work as a Senior Project Manager at Hitachi Rail, where I lead several signalling and train control projects in Germany. Before joining Hitachi, I spent several years at Bosch in senior roles covering ePowertrain system development, global OEM system project acquisition, and international engineering coordination. I managed multidisciplinary system teams, developed EV simulation chains, benchmarked BEV/HEV powertrains, and supported top‑management strategic studies on future propulsion concepts (KPI definition, CO₂/emission assessment, and cost–benefit analyses of multiple electrification architectures) With an system engineering degree from INSA Toulouse and international academic experience in Denmark, I combine strong technical depth with strategic thinking, global project delivery, and a passion for building efficient, future‑proof mobility technologies — from electric powertrains to next‑generation railway systems.
