technical/project leadership to engineers and other project team members.\nSupport business development, proposal development, client presentations, and pursuit activities related to CBTC, signaling, and train control opportunities.\nCollaborate with STV's Systems leadership and technical specialists to support the continued growth of the firm's CBTC and advanced train control capabilities.\nThe lifecycle emphasis here is consistent with existing internal CBTC leadership material, which identifies planning, procurement, design, systems integration, testing, commissioning, and revenue-service implementation as key phases of CBTC/train-control project delivery.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Civil

in current internal Systems/rail role material for Bellevue and the broader Pacific Northwest.\nCompensation Range:\n$160,647.46 - $183,597.09STV offers the following benefits\nHealth insurance,
