The Transit Division is currently in the process of developing and procuring a new Communications-Based Train Control system (CBTC). The Transit Program Delivery unit within the Transit Division was created in 2018 to oversee capital program and project budgets, manage vehicle and onboard equipment projects, testing and acceptance of rolling stock and technology projects that will deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions which improve safety and the Agency’s ability to deliver quality transit service. Within the Transit Program Delivery unit, the Transit Technology Group handles the procurement, delivery, acceptance, and management of technology systems which are critical to transit operations.
The Train Control Upgrade Project is a 9-year, multimillion dollar project with the goal of replacing the existing Automatic Train Control System in Muni’s subways with a modern CBTC and expanding the supervision and limited control aspects of the Communications-Based Train Control System to the entire Muni light rail system.

The Assistant Engineer will participate in design activities with the Supplier and other contractors related to onboard vehicle equipment. The Assistant Engineer will review consultant designs for the onboard train control electrical and communications systems and plans for integrating the train control system with the light rail vehicles.
The Assistant Engineer will also work with the vehicle manufacturer and the train control supplier to ensure quality integration between carborne train control equipment and the light rail vehicles.
