Stellantis' Vehicle and Propulsion Controls organization is seeking a Propulsion Controls Systems Engineer to define and deliver end-to-end propulsion system architecture for next-generation electrified and hybrid powertrain technologies.

In this role, you will translate vehicle-level feature requirements into scalable, high-performance system solutions, ensuring alignment across software, hardware, controls, and physical system integration. You will play a key role in advancing propulsion control strategies and enabling modern EV, BEV, and hybrid vehicle platforms.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and is passionate about solving complex technical challenges across global engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain operational, functional, and physical system architecture for propulsion control systems

  • Define system concepts, use cases, and operational scenarios for electrified powertrain applications

  • Perform functional decomposition and allocate requirements across subsystems and components

  • Define end-to-end propulsion system architecture (functional and physical) across ECU, sensors, actuators, and networks

  • Contribute to development and refinement of propulsion control strategies and algorithms

  • Support requirements engineering, system modeling, and MBSE activities (SysML)

  • Develop architecture artifacts including system definition documents, interface specifications, and EE network topology

  • Evaluate feasibility of vehicle-level functional objectives and provide design feedback to vehicle engineering teams

  • Define and document feature requirements and system behaviors

  • Develop DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) for assigned features

  • Support planning and deliverables aligned with internal and external stakeholder requirements

Key Competencies

  • Strong systems engineering and architecture mindset

  • Deep understanding of propulsion controls, control algorithms, and calibration interactions

  • Ability to lead and collaborate across global, cross-functional teams

  • Strong analytical thinking with ability to evaluate design trade-offs

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or Controls Engineering

  • A minimum of 1 year of experience in propulsion controls / systems engineering

  • Good domain knowledge in:

  • Engine / Hybrid / BEV control systems

  • Control algorithms and system behavior

  • Requirements engineering and system architecture

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's degree or PhD in Controls, Systems, or Automotive Engineering

  • Experience with:

  • MATLAB/Simulink modeling and controls development

  • MBSE (SysML, Rhapsody, Cameo)

  • DOORS, ALM, PLM (ENOVIA)

  • Knowledge of:

  • CAN /LIN/Ethernet communication protocols

  • Functional safety (ISO 26262)

  • ASPICE / Stellantis SE processes
