About Us
FUN RIDE GmbH operates the Hopp E-Scooter sharing service across Switzerland. We manage a live fleet of connected, smart e-scooters providing sustainable mobility solutions. Our operations combine advanced IoT, field diagnostics, and real-time fleet optimization.
Role Overview
We are seeking a Specialized Micromobility Fleet Operations & Diagnostics Technician who possesses a unique blend of field operations expertise. This role focuses on creating new hotspots to enhance service coverage, especially during station changes, preventive damage diagnostics, and hands-on e-scooter mechanical repairs in a shared-mobility environment.
This hybrid position requires a deep understanding of shared e-scooter fleet behavior, in-field repairs, early damage detection, and strategic hotspot creation based on rider flow and environmental patterns. Experience in e-scooter sharing operations is essential.
Key Responsibilities
-
Fleet Rebalancing & Hotspot Creation:
- Perform daily and advanced rebalancing across micro-zones based on demand, heatmaps, local terrain, and weather conditions.
- Maintain the fleet's battery percentage above 90% daily and ensure availability above 95%.
- Independently create, optimize, and adjust hotspot zones using field observations and operational patterns.
- Manually optimize distribution routes without solely relying on automated tools, while identifying and reducing "dead zones" and low-availability areas.
-
Preventive Damage Diagnostics:
- Detect early-stage mechanical and structural wear.
- Identify damage progression caused by misuse, vandalism, or environmental factors.
- Document and evaluate repair-prevention opportunities to reduce downtime.
- Conduct real-time health checks during field operations.
-
In-Field Mechanical & Electronic Repairs:
- Conduct mobile repairs on mechanical, electrical, and IoT components without workshop equipment.
- Diagnose controller, harness, and sensor anomalies on-site.
- Return units to service with minimal downtime.
- Train junior team members in micromobility-specific repair and diagnostic processes.
Required Experience
To qualify, candidates must have:
- A minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in a shared e-scooter fleet environment.
- Experience with real-time diagnostics and field-based hotspot creation, understanding factors such as peak hours, weather, and specific local conditions.
- A capacity to perform in-field mechanical and electronic repairs on shared micromobility vehicles.
- Skill in diagnosing early-stage structural and mechanical failures unique to shared scooter fleets.
- Knowledge of different e-scooter models and hardware.
- Experience maintaining high fleet uptime and availability KPIs.
- The ability to work various shifts including weekends.
Qualifications
Vocational training in a technical field (mechanics, electronics, mechatronics) or equivalent practical experience in shared micromobility operations is required.
Languages
Good English communication skills for internal communication and digital tools are essential.
