E-Bike Software Developer - Motor Functions
E-Bike Software Developer - Motor Functions (m/f/d) | 100% | Cham, Switzerland
Job Summary
To strengthen our eBike development team in Cham, Switzerland, we are seeking a E-Bike Software Developer - Motor Functions to commence immediately or by agreement.
In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development, and validation of motor related application and functions that define system behavior and rider experience. The position focuses on application logic, functional behavior, and system interaction rather than low level motor control algorithm development.
You will apply deep software expertise combined with strong physical system understanding to create robust, well validated motor functions across bench, system, and bike level.
Internally, you will work closely with Ride Control, System Engineering, Software and Quality teams. Externally, you will have a chance to collaborate with motor suppliers on application and integration topics.
How You’ll Make a Difference
Motor Functions Development
Develop and own motor application functions (assist and torque behaviour, functional limits and protections, derating and thermal strategies, system dependent motor behaviour, determining and setting right gear, etc.)Translate rider experience goals and system requirements into clear, testable functionsOwn motor functions across the full development lifecycle (concept → implementation → calibration → validation)
Advanced Modeling, Simulation
Analyze system and motor behavior to design and validate robust functionsUse data from testing to evaluate interactions, limits, and improvements
Application-Level Software Development
Develop and implement motor functionsWork confidently and independently in C, C++, knowledge of Zephyr OS is a plusDebug multi‑layer behaviour across software, hardware, and system boundaries
Testing, Validation & Field Support
Help to define and execute application-level test cases for motor functionsSupport bench, system, and bike-level testing activitiesAnalyse issues using data-driven methods and physical system understanding
Cross Functional & Supplier Collaboration
Act as a technical expert for motor application and function topicsAlign functional behaviours within mechanical, electrical, and system constraintsContinuously improve development, validation, and release processesGo out, ride, observe system behaviour, and feed insights back into developmentWhat You’ll Need to Win
Education & Experience
Bachelor’s, Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or similar3+ years of relevant experience in application development, system functions, or embedded systems (seniority implied by tool expectations)
Required Technical Expertise
Expert level proficiency in: Python, MATLAB, Simulink, CExperience with modern programming languages such as: C++17 and up, Rust, Zigknowledge of Zephyr OS is a plusStrong understanding of physical systems and their behaviourProven experience developing application-level embedded softwareConfident handling of:CAN communication, protocols, and diagnostic toolsGit version controldebugging across system boundariesStrong system thinker with a structured, analytical mindsetComfortable bridging physical behavior, software logic, and real-world testingAble to work independently on complex topics and drive them to completionClear and effective communicator in cross functional, international teams
Language & Mobility
Excellent English skills (written and spoken), German is a plusWillingness to travel occasionally (approx. 10%)Nice to Haves
Experience with eBike, automotive, or electrified drive systemsExperience supporting products into series productionFamiliarity with system identification or model-based development (Control theory)Passion for cycling
