ESE Engineering und Software-Entwicklung GmbH is an engineering consultancy provider with many years of experience in railway signalling and infrastructure projects. Headquartered in Braunschweig, Germany, our highly qualified teams support suppliers, infrastructure managers, and railway undertakings throughout all project phases, working according to both the established V-model and agile development processes.

Our core areas of expertise include Requirements Engineering, software and system architecture, development, testing, safety engineering, as well as system and software validation and assessment.

Our requirements engineering experts contribute to project success from the outset by continuously defining and maintaining clear and consistent requirements. By improving the alignment between expected and actual results, misunderstandings are minimized. Unspoken assumptions are systematically identified to ensure transparent communication and to create a solid foundation for subsequent system, component, or module development.

In development, our specialists bring extensive experience in safety-critical and embedded systems, ensuring the realization of robust, reliable, and secure software solutions.

Our testing services cover the full lifecycle of software and system development. We define test strategies, develop simulation and test environments, and create and execute comprehensive test case catalogues. At system, subsystem, and component level, we verify reliability, availability, safety, and cybersecurity in compliance with relevant standards. Test results are thoroughly evaluated and documented to support normative processes such as validation and assessment.

Our validation experts ensure that systems and software operate correctly and that defined process specifications are consistently adhered to throughout development.

This expertise has been demonstrated across a wide range of applications, including passenger information systems, components of RBCs and interlockings, generic products, and both generic and specific applications such as ETCS Level 2.
