About The Position

Stellantis is seeking a Propulsion HIL Systems & Hardware Engineer to develop and support Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulators for the Propulsion System HIL team. The engineer will serve as the primary interface between the HIL development team and external software, controls, and calibration teams, collaborating on HIL requirements and impact analysis.

The role works with cross-functional ECU hardware, systems, software, controls, plant modeling, and calibration teams to configure HIL simulators for specified vehicle configurations and resolve simulation environment and integration issues. It also includes triage and troubleshooting during commissioning of HIL test properties. The engineer will work with global teams across North America, EMEA, APAC, and LATAM, and contribute to benchmarking, evaluating new HIL technologies, and improving processes, methodologies, and tools. The position requires a systems-focused team player with interdisciplinary experience in ICE, transmission, electrical/electronic, hybrid, and battery-electric vehicle systems, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
