Entry Level Propulsion Controls Engineering information

What is the difference between Entry Level Propulsion Controls Engineering vs Entry Level Power Systems Engineer?

AspectEntry Level Propulsion Controls EngineeringEntry Level Power Systems Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Mechanical, Electrical, or Aerospace Engineering; knowledge of control systemsBachelor's in Electrical, Power Systems, or Mechanical Engineering; understanding of power distribution
Work EnvironmentDesign, testing, and integration of propulsion control systems in aerospace or automotive industriesDesign and analysis of electrical power systems in energy, manufacturing, or aerospace sectors
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by aerospace, automotive, and defense companies focusing on propulsion systemsCommon in energy, utilities, and manufacturing industries

While both roles require engineering degrees and knowledge of control or electrical systems, Entry Level Propulsion Controls Engineering focuses on propulsion system controls in aerospace or automotive contexts. In contrast, Entry Level Power Systems Engineer deals with electrical power distribution and management across various industries. The roles differ mainly in application area but share foundational skills in control and electrical engineering.

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
