Propulsion Engineer

Subsystem ArchitectStellantis is advancing the next generation of propulsion systems, and we are looking for a Subsystem Architect to play a key role in that transformation.In this position, you will be responsible for the definition, coordination, and technical integrity of software subsystems embedded in Powertrain Electronic Control Units (ECUs). These ECUs—such as Engine Control Module—are mission-critical components enabling performance, efficiency, and safety of hybrid vehicles.You will operate at the system and subsystem architecture level, contributing from early concept and pre-development through series production, in close collaboration with global engineering teams and suppliers.Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical OwnershipDefine and implement the ECU subsystem design in line with Stellantis technical policies and vehicle-level requirements.Translate subsystem input specifications into robust and scalable technical solutions.Ensure consistency across software, hardware, and network interfaces (ECUs, sensors, actuators).Embedded Software & ECU CoordinationOversee the ECU subsystem design and development strategy for propulsion ECUs.Coordinate closely with ECU technical leaders to ensure:Proper allocation of software functionsAlignment with vehicle and system constraintsTimely delivery of software-related artifactsInterfaces, Networks & System IntegrationEnsure coherence of interfaces including:Vehicle networks (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet)Sensors, actuators, and wiringHardware–software interfacesSupport distributed system design, where functions span multiple ECUs.Validation, Reviews & ComplianceLead and participate in technical design reviews to assess subsystem maturity.Ensure requirements compliance and validation with suppliers and internal partners.Contribute to supplier engagement activities, including:Technical specificationsArchitecture and solution justificationsTechnical decision and trade-off documentationCross-Functional CollaborationAct as a key technical interface across internal teams, projects, and external partners.Support convergence of functional and technical needs in a global development environment.Participate in project and ECU-level coordination meetings.Reuse, Capitalization & Continuous ImprovementDrive reuse of proven and generic solutions to reduce complexity and design variability.Contribute to best practices, lessons learned, and technical documentation (design guides, standards, processes).Support continuous improvement of Stellantis' technical frameworks.Basic QualificationsBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related field5 years of related experienceExperience in embedded systems or software architectureAutomotive experience preferred; candidates from aerospace or other embedded industries will be consideredTechnical SkillsStrong background in distributed E/E architecturesSolid understanding of automotive communication networks (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet)Hands-on or architectural experience with AUTOSAR (required)Experience with system-level functional allocation across ECUsFoundational knowledge of Artificial Intelligence concepts is a plusSoft Skills & AttributesStrong system-level and architectural thinkingAbility to operate across technical depth and high-level abstractionEffective communicator in cross-functional and multicultural teamsStructured, proactive, and solution-orientedComfortable working in a global development environment
