Propulsion Controls System Senior 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)

* Lead 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.
