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
