Lead, plan and execute propulsion system programs while managing Virtual Engineering (VE) activities. Develop the VE scorecard and workplan aligned with the Propulsion Systems Development Process (PSDP), program timelines, and DVP&R requirements. Ensure all functional requirements are met, including integration, validation, and compliance across functional disciplines, including:
- Coordinate the VE work plan across propulsion groups, vehicle teams, suppliers, testing, program management, and other functional VE teams, ensuring proper sequencing of complex workstreams (models, analyses, and deadlines) are executed.
- Collaborate with product release teams to confirm design requirements are addressed in the VE scorecard.
- Summarize and report program status through VE scorecards and workplans as key KPI deliverables to leadership (VP, Directors, Chief Engineers, Integration Managers, Program Management) using standardized formats and processes.
- Validate VE budget estimates and ensure alignment with required task and incorporate into ER&D rollup.
- Actively contribute to program reviews, ER&D reviews, and critical issue discussions.
- Ensure VE requirements are included in sourcing packages.
- Negotiate and secure timely delivery of models from suppliers.
- Identify VE-related risks during analysis and develop mitigation plans in alignment with PRCs and PFDI groups.
- Manage delivery of synthesis models for partners, ensuring quality, configuration integrity, and on-time completion.
- Adhere to established program execution processes and recommend improvements for future initiatives.

Stellantis Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Stellantis and has not been reviewed or approved by Stellantis.
-
Pay Growth & Progression — Contract-driven increases lifted hourly wages roughly 25% over 4.5 years and restored cost-of-living adjustments, pushing top rates near $42 per hour by the end of the agreement. Union hourly positions appear to have benefited most since the 2023 deal.
-
Affordable Benefits — UAW-represented hourly workers pay no premiums and about 3% of total healthcare costs while receiving comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and wellness coverage. This creates materially lower out-of-pocket costs for represented hourly roles.
-
Retirement Support — Post-2007 hourly hires receive a 10% employer 401(k) contribution and legacy workers saw defined-benefit improvements with retiree bonuses. Salaried roles also cite a 401(k) with employer match and contribution up to a maximum of 8%.
