What to Expect We build electric motorcycles. The engineering underneath them needs to be as deliberate, reliable, and honest as the ride itself — and this role is central to making that true. The Mechanical Design Engineer IV is an autonomous technical contributor and practitioner who drives component and system-level development without requiring design guidance or mentoring. Operating from Zero's Netherlands office, this engineer leads mechanical design work across powertrain enclosures, high-voltage (HV) battery pack mechanical systems, vehicle structures, and cross-functional system integration — collaborating directly with programme management, industrial design, supply chain, and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) partners. At this level, the engineer is a practitioner others learn from: technically deep, methodical in decision-making, and highly effective at translating system requirements into production-ready hardware. Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership & Design Ownership Leads design and development of complex motorcycle components and systems — including structural frames, battery enclosures, IP-rated sealing systems, and powertrain integration — through all programme phases (concept, F&D (Feasibility and Definition), D&R (Durability and Refinement), VAL (Validation), FPCS (First Production Conforming Sample)) Owns the full technical definition of assigned line items: 3D CAD master models, GD&T drawings, DFM/DFA analysis, DFMEA facilitation, DVP&R (Design Verification Plan and Report) planning, and production release in SAP ECTR Drives design decisions independently using sound engineering judgement; communicates trade-offs and recommendations clearly to programme leads and management Leads design reviews at key programme gates; prepares and presents technically rigorous review packages, incorporating cross-functional feedback effectively Identifies and resolves critical path risks in design and integration; escalates unresolvable conflicts wit…
