Job Summary & Responsibilities

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)
  • Lead 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
