Xtrac offers engineers the opportunity to be at the forefront of transmission technology, collaborating on exciting projects that demand precision, innovation, and a passion for motorsport and automotive engineering. With the growing demand for hybrid and electric vehicles, Xtrac engineers are involved in the development of transmission systems tailored to the unique requirements of these powertrains. This includes developing compact and lightweight gearboxes, integrating electric motors, and optimising power delivery for maximum efficiency.

We continue to develop multispeed transmissions for internal combustion engine vehicles, exploring the use of innovative materials and manufacturing processes to enhance the performance, as well as integration of control systems and software for managing gearbox functions, such as gear change and clutch operation.

To deliver class leading products each engineer has access to sophisticated design and simulation tools and an extensive range of test rigs to develop and verify the performance of our transmission systems.

We favour organic growth and hence if you are ready for your next step/ challenge we will favour internal promotion. We are advocates for professional development of our staff.

For some key roles it will be experience in the design, testing, or production of transmission systems.
For our production arena we will favour individuals who have experience in CNC Machining, ideally within STUDER or Kapp.
