Propulsion Controls Systems Engineer (EV/Hybrid Powertrain Architecture)

Stellantis’ Vehicle and Propulsion Controls organization is seeking a Propulsion Controls Systems Engineer to define and deliver end-to-end propulsion system architecture for next-generation electrified and hybrid powertrain technologies.

In this role, you will translate vehicle-level feature requirements into scalable, high-performance system solutions, ensuring alignment across software, hardware, controls, and physical system integration. You will play a key role in advancing propulsion control strategies and enabling modern EV, BEV, and hybrid vehicle platforms.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and is passionate about solving complex technical challenges across global engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain operational, functional, and physical system architecture for propulsion control systems

• Define system concepts, use cases, and operational scenarios for electrified powertrain applications

• Perform functional decomposition and allocate requirements across subsystems and components

• Define end-to-end propulsion system architecture (functional and physical) across ECU, sensors, actuators, and networks

• Contribute to development and refinement of propulsion control strategies and algorithms

• Support requirements engineering, system modeling, and MBSE activities (SysML)

• Develop architecture artifacts including system definition documents, interface specifications, and EE network topology

• Evaluate feasibility of vehicle-level functional objectives and provide design feedback to vehicle engineering teams

• Define and document feature requirements and system behaviors

• Develop DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) for assigned features

• Support planning and deliverables aligned with internal and external stakeholder requirements

Key Competencies

• Strong systems engineering and architecture mindset

• Deep understanding of propulsion controls, control algorithms, and calibration interactions

• Ability to lead and collaborate across global, cross-functional teams

• Strong analytical thinking with ability to evaluate design trade-offs

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, or Controls Engineering

• A minimum of 1 year 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
