Join a team that’s redefining what software means in the automotive world. Stellantis is undergoing a transformation, and we’re looking for innovators who want to shape the future of mobility. As part of the Software Organization (SWE), you’ll help build the next frontier of virtualized automotive development—creating virtual ECUs, simulation environments, and next‑generation V&V platforms that accelerate how we design, develop, test, and deliver software‑defined vehicles.
As a Virtualization Engineer, you will develop and integrate virtual and soft ECUs, define simulation methodologies, and support the end‑to‑end virtualization strategy for Stellantis. You’ll collaborate across global teams, suppliers, and engineering domains to deliver high‑fidelity virtual ECUs to be integrated into xIL simulation platforms. Your work will enable continuous integration, automated testing, and rapid software validation across the entire vehicle lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build virtual ECUs and soft ECUs across all development stages—from early functional prototypes to target‑level xIL simulation environments.
- Architect and integrate artifacts into simulation frameworks supporting xIL (MiL/SiL/HiL) and simulation‑based development workflows.
- Ensure vECUs and soft ECUs meet the required fidelity, performance, and integration criteria.
- Support continuous integration and delivery pipelines, automated testing, and agile validation workflows.
- Work closely with global engineering teams, suppliers, and tool vendors on virtualization technologies
- Collaborate with architecture, functional design, diagnostics, OTA, HMI, and communication protocol teams (Ethernet, CAN, etc.).
- Ensure alignment with Autosar Classic and Adaptive platforms, Linux‑based systems, and multi‑core architectures.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- A minimum of 5 years of experience in automotive software and systems development or deployment (ADAS, infotainment, etc.).
- Knowledge in virtualization technologies
- Strong understanding of virtual testing methods (model‑based, xIL, etc.)
- Experience with agile testing, test automation, and testing standards
- Background in complex test environments and global team collaboration
- Experience with planning, reporting, risk management, and governance
- Budget planning and management experience
- Solid foundation in Agile, Scrum, and DFSS methodologies
- Excellent interpersonal, communication, and project‑planning skills
Preferred Qualifications:
- Master’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related field
- Experience working within an automotive OEM environment
- Strong knowledge of modern software construction, integration methods, and toolchains
- Proficiency with operating systems (Autosar Classic/Adaptive, Linux, etc.) and cloud virtualization
- Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and model‑based development
- Understanding of automotive testing standards
- Experience in one or more domains: Propulsion, ADAS, Infotainment, Chassis
- Familiarity with branch strategies and variant management

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%.
