What is the difference between Contractual Propulsion Controls Engineering vs Mechanical Propulsion Engineer?

AspectContractual Propulsion Controls EngineeringMechanical Propulsion Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering; certifications in controls or systems engineeringBachelor's or higher in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering; relevant certifications vary
Work EnvironmentDesign, develop, and test propulsion control systems, often in project-based settingsDesign and analyze propulsion systems, focusing on mechanical components and performance
Industry UsagePrimarily in aerospace, defense, and transportation sectors involving contractual projectsUsed in aerospace, automotive, and defense industries for propulsion system development

Contractual Propulsion Controls Engineers focus on designing and managing control systems for propulsion, often working on contractual projects. Mechanical Propulsion Engineers concentrate on mechanical aspects of propulsion systems. Both roles require engineering degrees, but their focus areas and responsibilities differ significantly.

Job description

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
