PSD Design Manager Larsen & Toubro Ltd

PSD Design Manager

1. System Architecture & Conceptual Design

• Develop the overall system architecture for PSDs, including mechanical layout, electrical interfaces, and control logic.

• Define design criteria based on project requirements, safety standards (e.g., EN 50126/50128/50129), and environmental conditions.

• Lead feasibility studies and site-specific customization for new or retrofit installations.

2. Detailed Engineering Design

• Oversee the creation of detailed engineering drawings, 3D models, and schematics for:

  • Door panels and drive mechanisms

  • Track interface and anchoring systems

  • Electrical wiring and control cabinets

  • Human-machine interfaces (HMI) and emergency systems

• Ensure integration with signaling systems, train detection, and station infrastructure.

3. Design Validation & Prototyping

• Conduct design reviews, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and risk assessments.

• Supervise the development and testing of mock-ups or prototypes to validate mechanical and control performance.

• Collaborate with suppliers to ensure design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-installation (DFI) principles are met.

4. Interface & Integration Design

• Coordinate with civil, signaling, rolling stock, and communications teams to manage interface control documents (ICDs).

• Ensure PSD design aligns with platform edge tolerances, train door positions, and emergency egress requirements.

• Design for redundancy, fail-safe operation, and manual override mechanisms.

5. Documentation & Compliance

• Prepare and maintain:

  • Design specifications

  • Bill of Materials (BOM)

  • Installation and commissioning manuals

  • As-built drawings

• Ensure compliance with international standards (e.g., ISO, IEC, NFPA) and local authority regulations.

6. Stakeholder Collaboration

• Present design concepts and updates to clients, consultants, and regulatory bodies.

• Incorporate feedback from operations, maintenance, and safety teams into iterative design improvements.

• Support tendering and technical bid evaluations with design input.
