contractIndustrial Software Engineer - Railway Applications (m/w/d) 80-100%
Traila · Regensdorf
Traila is a technology company focused on modernising rail transport with sustainable, efficient solutions. The Industrial Software Engineer – Railway Applications will spend most of the time designing, coding and maintaining application software for railway and industrial products, primarily using C++, C# and Python. The role requires translating system and operational requirements into functional software, integrating code with sensors, actuators, controllers and data‑acquisition hardware, and implementing communication stacks such as CAN, CANopen, EtherCAT and TCP/IP. Daily tasks include building state‑machine logic, creating unit and integration tests, supporting commissioning and field trials on prototypes and rail vehicles, and performing diagnostics and root‑cause analysis. The engineer also owns software architecture, version‑control discipline, code reviews and cybersecurity measures, and may mentor junior team members while developing tools for configuration and data analysis. The position suits candidates with a degree in computer science, electrical or mechatronics engineering or equivalent experience, who have professional industrial or automotive software development background, proven railway software releases, and familiarity with EN 50128/EN 50716 lifecycle standards.
About Traila At Traila, we are dedicated to shaping the future of rail transport through cutting-edge technology. Since our founding in 2017, we have been driven by a passion for sustainability and excellence.
