The listing, marked up
Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.
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)
Perks: hybrid office/remote work model, up to 60 extra remote days/year from abroad (work from anywhere), 12 free FlixTrain travel vouchers/year + 12 for friends and family, mental health support, L&D budget, mentoring program.
