Senior Propulsion Controls Systems Engineer (EV/Hybrid Powertrain Architecture)

Stellantis’ Vehicle and Propulsion Controls organization is seeking a Senior Propulsion Controls Systems Engineer to lead the design and delivery of 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 leadership role in advancing propulsion control strategies across EV, BEV, and hybrid platforms. 

The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and effectively leads cross-functional global teams to solve complex engineering challenges. 

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 and own end-to-end propulsion system architecture (functional and physical) 
• Lead the development and definition of propulsion control strategies and algorithms 
• Support requirements engineering, decomposition, and system modeling using MBSE (SysML) 
• Define component allocation across ECU, sensors, actuators, and subsystems 
• Develop system artifacts including system definition documents, interface specifications, and EE network topology 
• Evaluate feasibility of functional objectives and provide feedback to vehicle engineering teams 
• Define feature requirements and system behaviors 
• Develop DFMEA for assigned features 
• Coordinate planning and delivery aligned with stakeholder requirements 

Key Competencies 

• Strong systems engineering and architecture mindset 
• Deep expertise in propulsion controls, control algorithms, and calibration interaction 
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional global teams 
• Strong analytical and trade-off decision-making capability 
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

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
