E-bike drivetrain systems combining Porsche engineering with FAZUA and Greyp expertise
Porsche E-Bike Performance develops electric drivetrain systems for e-bikes through two product lines: FAZUA (compact, lightweight drives) and Porsche-branded high-performance units. The stack reveals a hardware-firmware operation: embedded C/C++, FreeRTOS, CAN-FD protocol work, and iOS connectivity via Bluetooth Low Energy, paired with industrial quality frameworks (FMEA, SPC, APQP, Six Sigma). Engineering-heavy hiring (16 open roles) focused on senior and mid-level talent, combined with active projects in power electronics, BMS firmware, and OTA updates, signals aggressive product development and manufacturing ramp. Pain points center on quality assurance and supply-chain cost control.
Porsche E-Bike Performance, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Ottobrunn near Munich, operates as a public company with 201–500 employees across Germany and Croatia. The company was established to consolidate e-bike drivetrain expertise from three sources: FAZUA (a specialist in compact, lightweight drive systems), Greyp (a Croatian software and connectivity innovator), and Porsche's engineering and research capabilities. Two distinct product lines are in development: FAZUA drives targeting agile, lightweight e-bikes, and Porsche-branded drives positioning for industry adoption mid-decade. Manufacturing and R&D are based at the Ottobrunn facility.
Embedded systems: C, C++, FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, CAN-FD, I2C, UART, LwM2M, MQTT, Zephyr. Mobile: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Bluetooth Low Energy. Development: Python, Jira, Git, GTest. Quality/manufacturing: FMEA, SPC, APQP, Six Sigma, PPAP, MSA, 8D.
Power electronics development, BMS firmware, production line ramp-up, OTA firmware design, hardware-software integration, and IoT device interfaces for e-bikes. Quality policy development and supplier relationship management are concurrent priorities.
