Our Work in Practice
Have you ever wondered what a Signal Engineer does?
These engineers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and reliability of railway signaling and communication systems. Their responsibilities span multiple aspects of project work, including creating Hardware Design Plans, Application Logic, Power Calculations, Logic Verification Procedures, and signal simulation testing. All of these intrerconnected tasks lead to the robust signaling systems that are imperative for both safety and traffic flow.
Marcus Gray, a Signal Engineer at Modern Railway Systems, is currently working on the Chicago Metra 16th project. This project involves a complex signaling and interlocking system, organized into five design phases. Marcus shares, "one of the most rewarding aspects of this project has been the incredible teamwork. Collaborating with such a dedicated and skilled group of professionals has not only enhanced the quality of the work but also fostered a supportive and innovative environment. The collective effort and shared expertise have been instrumental in overcoming challenges and achieving our milestones."
Being a Signal Engineer is both a challenging and fulfilling job. Although, through their expertise and dedication, Signal Engineers like Marcus help shape the future of safe and efficient rail transportation.
