Brazilian Software Engineer in Beijing
Dec 23, 2020
Evoke Motorcycles has an excellent pool of international talents. They have contributed a lot of excellent ideas, solutions, and future vision in design, planning, and execution. They are not only the leaders in their respective fields but also the pushers of smart green transportation.
Today we interviewed Eric, our software engineer from southern Brazil, and listened to him talk about why he traveled thousands of miles to China, to Evoke Motorcycles, and his thoughts on the intelligent software part of the next-generation motorcycle experience.

1. Why China?
Because my field is electronic, and everything I was buying in Brazil close to my studies was coming from China. So I decided to come to point of source.
2. Why Evoke Motorcycles? Well, I just moved to Beijing to continue my studies. And I was looking for some opportunities where I could do the things that I really like. Which is programming for electronic devices. So when I was looking for this opportunity, I found Evoke Motorcycles. In the job description, it seems that I wrote that to my self. I decided to come here because it was an opportunity I could actually work on a project and see what progress is going to. And it’s really fast—going to the real market.
3. Why Software on Motorcycles? There are many differences between a gas motorcycle and an electric motorcycle. In our case, we actually have a computer going with wheels. So, all these things, motor, in our case we have batteries. And the battery management system is necessary to have software behind it. That carries information and controls the motor and takes care of safety. We can compare these with a human body, That we have a brain and a lot of other members. So, in our case, our motorcycles, we have those members. So we need a brain, we need to get information and take the actions. To control, all the things that we have.
4. What Project Now? I am part of the software development team. One thing that we are working on in the software development team, is to use inertial sensors in our motorcycles. To detect crashing, and to detect the direction the motorcycle is going. And then, for example, some simple stuff. Like, turn off the signal light when the turn is over.
5. What Vision for Smart Motorcycles? In this new technology that we are using for our new electronic control unit. we are thinking about how we can be more than just a vehicle, and actually, be connected to our customers’ life. For example, use some conceptual internet of things. And technology like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi to give more information from the motorcycle to the customer. And allowing them to change some parameters very easily on smartphone applications.
6. Greetings to Home People Well people, I hope that you are fine. I know that this has been a difficult year for us. But I would like to say，

In terms of automotive there may be a handful of principles that determine the overall form and componentry present on a vehicle. Inescapable is physics, aspirational is performance but as another 20th century icon dictated, there's no escaping the bottom line and in manufacturing that means a need to establish and maintain a lean operational footprint.
