About this role
We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.
The Role Newcastle University, in partnership with iNetic, is offering an exciting opportunity to support the expansion from electric motor manufacturing into complete electrified powertrain solutions for automotive, aerospace, and robotics applications.
The KTP Associate will lead the technical delivery of the project, working at the interface between Newcastle University and iNetic to embed advanced gear design and electrified drivetrain capability within the business. The role will involve developing, validating, and industrialising gear and transmission solutions for traction and motion applications, supporting the transition to a scalable, product based portfolio.
Key tasks will include the development of analytical and numerical models for gear systems, drivetrain optimisation for efficiency, durability, noise and manufacturability, and the application of these methods to real world product platforms. The Associate will support prototype design, testing, validation, and interpretation of results, working closely with the industrial partner's engineers to translate research outputs into robust commercial solutions.
