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
