Propulsion Controls System Engineer

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
