Integration cum Application Engineer — Powertrain (Manager)

<p><strong><u>Company Description:</u></strong></p><p><br></p><p>We see ourselves as a bunch of crazy maniacs who refuse to understand "It Can Not Happen". People know us for building the most awesome e-bikes (electric bicycles) but, how we see it is "We believe we are changing the world, one e-bike at a time, and playing a part in bringing India to the Global map for EVs." The company aims to bring across top-quality eBikes which would currently cost way more in the domestic market at an affordable price utilizing its local sourcing and manufacturing capabilities.</p><p><br></p><p>Let's talk numbers. We are currently the market leader in India across the e-bike category and are just on the verge of announcing our Series C. Having grown from a team of 5 to 400+ across the globe, from a small garage to offices across 15+ countries and clocking in INR 300+ Cr revenue in the first three years of operations. We have raised a series B from global investors. We think this is a great start to our exciting journey.</p><p>We think this is a great start to our exciting journey.</p><p><br></p><p>Come, join us, help us transform the world, mobility, and have a blast while doing it!
