Junior DevOps/Platform Engineer (m/f/d)

Siemens Mobility is a separately managed company of Siemens AG. Siemens Mobility provides integrated Mobility solutions for urban, interurban and logistics for efficient transportation of passengers and goods.

Using the Mobility Data Analytics portfolio, we understand passengers wishes and preferences to truly optimize mobility services to better suit the customer’s needs. Starting with data originating from Journey Planning Systems, it is possible to derive fine-grained mobility patterns throughout the public transit network of a city. Building on that, many more applications are available to provide data-driven answers to crucial questions for day-to-day operations and planning. Examples, which are already successfully deployed in many cities, include vehicle occupancy prediction, quality of interconnections and capacity planning in that city’s public transport networks.

We share one common goal: enhancing the passenger experience with our combined power for the future of Mobility.
