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
