Onboard Telecom Technology Manager

Stellenbeschreibung:

FlixTrain | Onboard Telecom Technology Manager | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE (hybrid) | Full-time

FlixTrain is on a mission to make long‑distance rail travel affordable and sustainable across Europe. Every passenger we shift to rail matters, and the onboard connectivity is a key part of what makes people switch. We're hiring an Onboard Technology Manager to own everything that keeps passengers connected and crew productive on the train: Wi‑Fi and network infrastructure, onboard units, and mobile devices for train staff. As satellite constellations and 5G redefine what's possible for high‑speed mobile connectivity, you'll help set the direction for the technology being adopted on the largest non‑governmental train fleet: writing specs, defining network architectures, monitoring live performance, and driving improvement projects from their conception to the finish line.

The role is highly cross‑functional. You'll work with internal partners (operations, customer product, and rail engineering) and external ones, such as tech vendors (Icomera and Advantech) and train manufacturers (Siemens, Talgo).

What we're looking for:

Bachelor's or Master's in Telecommunications, CS, Electrical Engineering, or similar
2+ years hands‑on with network architecture, Wi‑Fi systems, or Mobile Device Management (ideally in rail or a similarly complex environment)
Strong troubleshooting skills on complex networked systems
Comfortable leading cross‑functional initiatives and communicating clearly with both engineers and non‑technical stakeholders
Fluent German and English (internally, English is preferred, but German is often mandatory when working with suppliers and regulatory bodies)
