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
