The Subject Matter Expert in Controls Development plays a critical role within the Engine Control Product Release Center (PRC). This expert works with the Controls Center of Excellence (COE) Manager, Controls Developers, Calibration, Advanced and Production Requirements teams to ensure that all requirements delivered by the Controls COE team meet the highest quality standards and support program functional objectives. This role provides technical leadership to PRC controls developers in the proper implementation of requirements, including controls assessments and prototype design. The expert leads training in all aspects of engine control development and is a key participant in issue investigations and resolution planning.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Read high-level requirements related to the intended vehicle-level behavior
- Design the appropriate control algorithm that fulfills the functional objectives
- Implement the control algorithm in Matlab-Simulink, C, etc.
- Provide best-guess calibration dataset
- Pre-verify the implementation, and check the requirements’ compliance, through Model In The Loop (MIL) testing;
- Pre-verification of the generated code, through Software in the Loop (SIL) testing or specific tools able to monitor the consumption of software resources (e.g. VRAM, throughput)
- Generate integrated prototype code builds
- Verify official and improve prototype code builds in the MIL, HIL lab or in the vehicle, using ETAS INCA and other tools;
- Analysis and response to the tracked issues
- Attend technical meetings, perform data analysis and resolve issues
- Develop process documentation
- Support the calibration and application community
Basic Requirements:
- Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Physics, Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Computer Engineering, Computer Science from an ABET accredited school or equivalent
- Extensive experience in engine control, data analysis and Agile AutoScrum methodologies
- A minimum of 7+ years of experience in a related field
- Understanding of System Requirements Engineering and Controls Design
- Strong interpersonal, communication, and leadership skills
- Knowledge of modern and classical control principles
- Knowledge of major vehicle systems
- Domain expertise in one or more of the following: Engine Design, Engine Systems Control Design, Engine Calibration, On-Board Diagnostics, Functional safety
- Embedded control development tools and processes
- Support issue triage by ensuring the correct COE and team members are assigned, assist in the root cause analysis
- Perform Controls Assessments on COE content
- Manage COE (Center of Excellence) input to prototype software development
- Provide technical review and approval of Propulsion Capabilities
- Review and approve artifacts created by other team members within the assigned COE
- Manage special projects focused on quality of control artifacts
Preferred Requirements:
- Advanced degree with emphasis in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive engineering, or Computer Engineering
- Demonstrated experience in decomposing intended functions into controls design documents
- Extensive experience in creating MATLAB, SIMULINK, and AUTOSAR architecture
- Successful candidates will demonstrate an action-oriented mindset, ability to deal with ambiguity, customer focus, and strong problem-solving skills

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%.
