Embedded Systems Application & Integration Engineer - Mobility

Description

We are seeking an Embedded Systems Application & Integration Engineer to support the integration of our drive control unit into electric bicycles.

This is an application-focused role, positioned between product development, customers, and system validation. You will apply and adapt existing hardware and firmware to real-world bicycle and mobility platforms, ensuring reliable operation across motors, batteries, HMIs, sensors, and vehicle networks.
Your work will be strongly centered on CAN-based e-bike architectures, system robustness, and field-ready integration.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Application & System Integration (Mobility-Focused, CAN-Centric)

• Lead system integration of the drive control unit into e-bike platforms.
• Define CAN architectures connecting motor, battery (BMS), HMI, sensors, and auxiliary modules.
• Adapt communication flows to customer-specific CAN specifications and mobility use cases.
• Support integration of complementary interfaces (UART, PWM, analog, pulse-based) typical in bicycle systems.
• Identify integration risks related to packaging constraints, EMC exposure, and supplier variability.

Firmware Configuration & Adaptation (Application-Level)

• Configure and maintain application-specific firmware variants for different bicycle and mobility platforms.
• Adapt CAN message mapping, IDs, scaling, diagnostics, and timing to customer requirements.
• Support firmware bring-up, parameter tuning, and feature enablement for specific bike applications.
• Contribute application changes via Git-based repositories, following structured branching and release practices.
• Feed application insights back to core firmware and product teams.

Electrical Interfaces & Harness Support

• Support customers and partners in defining wiring and harness layouts suitable for compact bicycle and light-mobility systems.
• Provide interface guidelines and best practices for connectors, pinouts, grounding, shielding, and routing, with the support of our specialized electronics team.
• Act as the application focal point, coordinating with internal electronics experts for detailed electrical and EMC recommendations.
• Review and validate customer and supplier harness designs for CAN robustness in exposed, vibration-prone, and EMI-challenging environments.
• Identify integration risks related to harness implementation and recommend application-level mitigations, escalating complex electrical topics to the electronics team as needed.
• Support harness-related topics during integration, testing, and field deployment without owning harness redesign.

Power Integration & System Robustness

• Analyze power distribution from battery to control unit within bicycle architectures.
• Validate voltage stability, startup behavior, load conditions, and transient events.
• Identify power-related risks affecting communication reliability and rider experience.

Application Testing & Field Issue Resolution

• Support integration testing on benches, prototypes, and complete bicycles.
• Diagnose and resolve CAN communication issues involving motor, battery, or HMI interactions.
• Act as a technical escalation point during customer integration phases, pilot builds, and field trials.

Documentation & Cross-Functional Interface

• Produce application notes, e-bike CAN interface specifications, wiring guidelines, and release notes.
• Maintain traceability between firmware versions, CAN definitions, and customer bike configurations.
• Interface with customers, suppliers, and internal teams (electronics, validation, product).
• Contribute to standardization of integration practices across bicycle platforms.

Requirements and Preferred Skills

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Computer Engineering.
• 4+ years of experience in embedded systems application engineering or system integration.
• Experience integrating embedded systems in e-mobility, bicycles, or light electric vehicles.
• Strong embedded C/C++ skills for configuration, adaptation, and debugging.
• Hands-on experience with CAN bus integration in vehicle environments.
• Solid understanding of DC power systems and embedded electrical interfaces.
• Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and power measurement tools.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and system documentation.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with e-bike subsystems (motor, battery/BMS, HMI, sensors).
• Familiarity with GitHub-based firmware repositories (branching, pull requests, release tagging).
• Exposure to RTOS-based systems, bootloaders, and firmware version control.
• Knowledge of EMC/EMI challenges specific to bicycles and compact mobility systems.
• Mandarin language skills are a plus.
• Strong hands-on mindset, structured documentation habits, and customer-oriented problem-solving approach.

Why Join Us

You will help bring advanced motion technology into real-world bicycles and light mobility products, ensuring reliable performance from lab to trail, street, and city use.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy CAN-based system integration, e-bike architectures, and turning complex multi-supplier systems into reliable, rider-ready solutions — without being a core platform development role.
