Powertrain Component Owner - E‑Bike Product Development

We’re looking for a Powertrain Component Owner who will take end‑to‑end responsibility for ride‑by‑wire powertrain components in our next-generation E‑Bike platform. If you enjoy combining system thinking, hands-on engineering, and close collaboration with suppliers - this role is for you.

Spyrosoft is leading the recruitment process and ensuring a smooth experience for candidates interested in contributing to this cutting-edge project. This opportunity is ideal for engineers who value independence, ownership, and flexibility.

Please note that this is a freelance position. The engagement begins with a B2B contract through Spyrosoft, with the potential to transition to a direct contract with our Partner at a later stage.

Requirements:

Must-have qualifications

• Experience in powertrain or mechatronic component development (e.g. motors, inverters, batteries, actuators, sensors).

• Familiarity with automotive or e‑mobility development processes (e.g. V‑model, ASPICE-like processes, structured requirement management).

• Proven experience working with external suppliers (technical alignment, reviews, follow-up).

• Knowledge of functional safety principles (e.g. ISO 26262 or similar functional safety concepts).

• Strong technical documentation skills - ability to create clear specifications and component documentation.

• Fluent English, both written and spoken, for daily communication with international stakeholders and suppliers.

Nice to have

• Experience with E‑Bike systems or other light electric vehicles.

• Familiarity with ride‑by‑wire or drive‑by‑wire systems.

• Background in systems engineering, model-based development, or requirements engineering tools.

• Experience with testing and validation of powertrain or mechatronic components.

In this role, you will:

• Develop and own powertrain components for our E‑Bike platform, including:

  • Drive motor

  • Pedal generator

  • Battery system

• Define component‑level requirements in close collaboration with the systems engineering team.

• Coordinate and monitor development with external suppliers to ensure timing, quality, and technical alignment.

• Prepare and maintain component‑level technical documentation, including specifications, interface descriptions, and test criteria.

• Support system and vehicle integration, working with test and validation teams to ensure proper operation and performance.

• Ensure compliance with functional safety requirements, in line with relevant standards and internal processes.

• Contribute to closing gaps in E‑Bike Product Development, bringing structure, clarity, and ownership to the powertrain domain.
