Stellantis’ Vehicle and Propulsion Controls organization is seeking a Controls Systems Engineer to define and deliver end-to-end propulsion system architecture, spanning Design, development, defining requirements for controls strategy, EE architecture, and physical system implementation for next-generation powertrain technologies.
The role is responsible for translating vehicle-level feature requirements into robust, scalable architecture solutions, ensuring alignment across software, hardware, controls, and physical integration domains.
The ideal candidate will thrive in a dynamic, cross-functional environment, solving complex technical challenges and driving integration across global teams
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop and maintain operational, functional, and constructional system architecture
- Define system concepts, use cases, and operational scenarios
- Perform functional decomposition and allocation to subsystems/components
- Define end-to-end propulsion system architecture (functional + physical)
- Participate in definition of propulsion control strategies
- Support requirements decomposition and system modeling (SysML / MBSE)
- Define component allocation across ECU, sensors, actuators, and subsystems
- Develop physical architecture artifacts (SEDs, topology, interface definitions, EE architecture and network topology)
- Analyze the Functional Objectives related features to determine feasibility of design and provide feedback to Vehicle team.
- Design and Develop the feature design and requirements for all assigned features.
- Design and Develop the DFMEA for all features assigned to team.
- Plan and delivery based on requests from external stakeholders.
KEY COMPETENCIES:
- Strong systems thinking and architecture mindset
- Deep propulsion controls expertise (algorithms, calibration interaction)
- Ability to lead cross-functional global teams
- Strong analytical and trade-off decision capability
- Excellent technical communication and stakeholder management
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or Controls Engineering
- 1+ years 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

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%.
