What is a program developer?

A program developer creates or enhances software to meet company needs. As a program developer, you make work on applications for different departments, such as human resources, sales, or data processing. Your job duties include designing software solutions that make the company procedures more efficient, programming the computer language, and troubleshooting the code to resolve bugs and errors. Program developers may work independently or on a team of software designers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a program developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Program Developer, you need strong programming skills, knowledge of software development methodologies, and typically a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with tools like version control systems (e.g., Git), integrated development environments (IDEs), and frameworks relevant to the target platform is essential. Problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are important soft skills that set top developers apart. These competencies enable the creation of robust, maintainable software solutions and efficient collaboration within development teams.

What are some common challenges faced by program developers when collaborating with cross-functional teams?

Program Developers often work closely with designers, product managers, and quality assurance teams. A common challenge is ensuring clear communication across these diverse groups, as each may have different priorities and technical backgrounds. Balancing feature requests with technical feasibility and project deadlines can also be demanding. Successful Program Developers proactively seek feedback, clarify requirements, and use collaborative tools to keep everyone aligned, which helps minimize misunderstandings and bottlenecks.

Job description

The Chrysler Institute of Engineering (CIE) Program is highly selective with a limited number of openings each year. Only the best and brightest college graduates are chosen. Trainees should embody strong work ethic while maintaining a sense of purpose and modesty throughout the program.
During the first two and a half years of work, participants in the CIE Program will receive challenging rotational assignments. The program begins quickly to build skills and knowledge through a series of work assignments. In addition, the variety of assignments gives trainees an overall perspective of what working at Stellantis is all about. It helps identify what job would properly balance the trainee's career goals and the needs of the corporation. Each CIE candidate completes five, six-month rotations within the corporation getting the chance to experience multiple areas.
Participants in the program with a Bachelor's degree, must also pursue a Master's degree in Electrical, Computer, Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering. Program participants will be paid half day per class, per week to allow them to complete their master's degree while completing their Product Development CIE Trainee work assignments. With an average course load of two classes per term, the trainee should earn their master's degree at the same time they complete the 30-month CIE Program. As an added benefit, tuition is paid in full.
Participants in the program with a Master's degree will participate in the rotational portion of the program but will not be required to pursue a Master's degree.
Basic Qualifications:
  • Undergraduate graduation or graduate degree acquired between December 2025 through June 2027
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited program; other Engineering degrees from an ABET accredited university programs (Aerospace/Aeronautical, Agricultural, Biomedical/Biomechanical/Bioengineering, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Computer Science, Materials, Mechatronics, Metallurgical or related field) will be considered if the candidate exhibits the desired characteristics to fill an opening within the CIE program
  • 3.0 or higher GPA (based on a 4.0 scale)

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Previous internship with an automotive manufacturer
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
  • Excellent organization skills
  • Exhibit strong leadership skills
