Direct message the job poster from E2 DRIVES
E2 Drives is an innovative engineering company revolutionizing electric mobility. Our expertise spans mechanics, electronics, electric motor design, and embedded control systems. We have developed a disruptive and patented powertrain technology for electric bikes that combines an automatic gearbox within a powerful all-in-one solution, offering cyclists unprecedented comfort, robustness, and performance. With our recent partnership with Decathlon, we aim to become a global leader in eBike motor technology within the next decade.
We launched our first-generation motors and are currently developing our second-generation drive units. We are therefore expanding our team to ensure the continuous evolution of our products. Our team is based in Wavre, near Brussels, and consists of 25 passionate and driven professionals.
To support our growth, we are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer (m/f) with expertise in transmissions and an analytical approach to design evaluation.
What will be your role?
This isn’t a role for someone seeking the easy route. We’re seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer with proven expertise in gear, bearing, and drivetrain design to help shape our next-generation E-bike motor and gearbox systems. You’ll lead the design, analysis, and validation of compact, high-efficiency, and long-lasting powertrains that redefine the cycling experience.
You will also help us develop new technologies that empower human movement.
What will be your main responsibilities?
* Lead the design and development of mechanical components within our drive units.
* Perform in-depth analysis to evaluate the performance and reliability of mechanical designs and identify opportunities for improvement.
* Participate in design reviews, offering expert insights and challenging assumptions to ensure optimal engineering outcomes.
* Oversee collaboration with suppliers to ensure designs are optimised for manufacturing and aligned with our quality and cost objectives.
* Stay abreast of the latest trends in electric mobility, transmission technology, and mechanical design, integrating new methodologies into our projects.
What is your profile?
* A Master’s degree in Engineering or a specialized mechanical design discipline.
* Proven experience with transmission systems, more specifically eCVT, including motors, gears, bearings, shafts, and their mechanical loads.
* Strong proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, etc.) for modelling and creating engineering drawings.
* Extensive knowledge of Design for Manufacturing (plastic injection, aluminium die-casting) and the ability to collaborate effectively with suppliers.
* Expertise in GD&T standards and a keen eye for detail in creating accurate and clear drawings.
* Fluent in English, with working proficiency in French being an advantage.
Who are we looking for?
Success in this role requires more than technical ability. We’re looking for someone who is naturally meticulous, with a deep understanding of how even the smallest details influence system reliability and performance. You set a high bar for yourself and your work, pursuing excellence in every decision, drawing pride from delivering elegant and robust mechanical designs.
You approach challenges with a clear, analytical mindset, using structured thinking, data, and modeling to solve complex engineering problems with confidence and clarity.
You enjoy coaching and mentoring younger engineers and sharing your knowledge across the organization.
What do we offer?
* A senior role within an ambitious, high-potential start-up that delivered its first successful product and is now looking at a broader expansion with new patented technologies.
* A chance to shape the future of electric mobility and contribute to a company with global ambitions.
* A dynamic, human-sized team with a focus on excellence.
* An attractive compensation package and a permanent full-time contract.
* A great working environment, surrounded by nature and bikes.
