Radiate Engineering & Design AG is excited to announce a fresh collaboration with DIAVELO AG. Based in Zurich, DIAVELO is a technological pioneer and known for innovative and internationally established e-bikes that cover the demands of different needs in everyday mobility and leisure traffic.
We’re happy to start with a first project for DIAVELO – stay tuned for upcoming announcements related to this venture.
Every once in a while, we’re graced with a new team member at RADIATE who not only brings a fresh perspective but also an electrifying energy that resonates with everyone. Enter Yelena, our new student employee with a fascinating blend of theoretical knowledge and a penchant for hands-on experience.
Yelena’s journey with us is as unconventional as her vibrant personality. Before joining our team, she pursued her Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering at the ETH Zurich. It was there that she played a pivotal role in the “Swissloop” Hyperloop student team. Interestingly, she first became acquainted with RADIATE while delivering a fruit basket to our workshop as a Bike Messenger for “Öpfelchasper”.
We’re thrilled to have Yelena onboard!

The technology from Positrigo AG offers precision medicine and makes functional imaging accessible for people worldwide. Radiate Engineering & Design developed and produced prototypes of a headrest for the NeuroLF seat, an ultra-compact brain Positron Emission Tomography system.
The collaboration with Positrigo included the following work packages:
Thanks to the cooperation with Positrigo and a huge team effort, the fast improvement, finalization and prototype production was made possible.
Swiss B2B Cycling Magazin Cycleinfo features Radiate Engineering & Design in its latest issue, exploring our history and uncovering how we work.
Here’s an excerpt: “Sandwiched between the busiest transit road in the city of Zurich and the imposing, gray anthracite Zurich Police and Justice Center of the Cantonal Police, still stands a remnant of Zurich’s industrial past. This building, with its abundant industrial charm, is now being passionately tinkered with to shape the future of cycling. Surrounded by a hint of history, the building now serves as a place for groundbreaking innovations, for it is here at Radiate Engineering & Design that ideas are born that go far beyond ordinary tinkering. In their laboratory, ideas are developed, calculated, meticulously tested and finally transferred to production.”

We are very happy to welcome Martina Skvaro to the RADIATE team!
Martina brings a diverse background in CAD and Industrial Design and experience in medical technology and also helicopter development. Her expertise lies in combining design and engineering, particularly using Siemens NX for parametric and freeform modeling.
Passionate about the entire product development process, Martina enjoys the challenge of finding innovative solutions. In her spare time, she also designs products for her home, such as SLS-printed lamps, 3D-printed ceramic candle holders, and furniture.
If you want to know more about Martina, check out the full interview with her in our “Behind-the-Scenes” section.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the role of engineering and design has become more crucial than ever. As professionals in these fields, we have the power to shape the future and make a positive impact on society. But how we approach growth matters greatly.
For us, growth at all costs is no measure of success for a company.
Instead, at Radiate Engineering & Design we focus on “healthy” or sustainable growth, and for good reason.
It ensures that we achieve our goals while not over-pacing and nurturing knowledge and (human) resources.

How can we make the cycling industry more sustainable?
During the last edition of Cycle Week Zurich, we had the privilege of hosting a thought-provoking workshop on “More Sustainability in the Bicycle Industry” in cooperation with Milani Design & Consulting AG at our office in Zurich. The event brought together 10 enthusiastic minds who shared their ideas and insights.
We delved into crucial topics like the longevity and responsible disposal of bicycles, aiming to explore ways to make this eco-friendly mode of transport even more sustainable. For us, the workshop offered a unique opportunity to get going as a team instead of working separately on our own. More of this is needed, especially in the Bicycle Industry.
A huge thanks to all the participants for their active engagement and contribution to this successful event. We believe that by collaborating and sharing knowledge, we can drive positive change in the industry.
We are very proud to announce that as of today, Radiate Engineering & Design is launching the UAV Division, a special service unit dedicated to advancing the design, engineering, and certification of lightweight Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
With the global civil drone market projected to reach nearly $56 billion by 2030, the UAV Division aims to capitalize on this emerging industry’s vast potential. Leveraging Switzerland’s expertise in UAV technology and its strong academic foundation, Radiate Engineering & Design offers comprehensive services, including aerodynamic and structural optimization, simulation-driven engineering, prototyping, manufacturing, certification support, and business development.
The UAV Division is led by Timothy Habermacher, a seasoned expert in the UAV industry and mechanical engineering. About the idea behind the UAV Division, he says:
“Our ultimate objective is to guide our clients from concept to production, fostering innovation and empowering their ideas to take flight.”
“And above all else, we just love to see the ideas of our customers take flight”, he adds.
Check out the services of the UAV Division directly on our website – or take the comprehensive assessment about UAV product development if you are a UAV business and would like to know more about how to accelerate your product development.
The NeuroLF from Positrigo AG is an ultra-compact brain Positron Emission Tomography system. The technology offers precision medicine and makes functional imaging accessible for people worldwide.
We are very happy that Positrigo has contracted Radiate Engineering & Design to design and develop structurally loaded complex components for the NeuroLF using FEM, based on existing technical requirements and geometric constraints.
We are excited about the project and are looking forward to starting it!
