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
