Description:
On highways, down inner city streets, through tunnels and railway crossings, travels an endless stream of cars, trains, buses. Traffic is a complex, nonstop challenge for major city centers and small communities alike. Coordinating traffic, staying on top of its ebbs and flows, is a complex, demanding task for emergency support personnel, city planners and transportation system operators everywhere.
The burden of this task is bringing about significant challenges to the way traffic is managed. Very soon vehicles will communicate with the roadway. Autonomous vehicles are appearing on the road today. At Siemens we are building customer specific solutions to meet this future now.
As a Software Engineer at Siemens Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) you will be responsible for shaping this future, by designing and developing software for a unique traffic management system to support a urban areas in North America. This system interacts with the connected field devices (e.g. traffic controllers, UPS, detectors, etc.) and supports the complex decision-making tasks to control and optimizes traffic in metropolitan areas. While working to protect drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and improve travel times.
You will be part of a small team, working in an AGILE approach. You will have the opportunity to build your experience in the ITS market, while developing leading edge solutions at the same time. At Siemens we make life better for people, and at Siemens ITS we positively impact the quality of life of millions of American drivers daily by making traffic flow safely and efficiently.
