Powertrain Controls Engineer - Torque Control

The Powertrain Controls Engineer will work within a Centre of Excellence (CoE) belonging to the Product Release Center (PRC) - Engine Propulsion Controls and will broadly contribute in the development of engine propulsion systems for current and next-generation internal combustion engine as well as hybrid electrified propulsion systems for Stellantis vehicles. The Controls Engineer is responsible for developing new controls strategies and enhancing existing algorithms for engine torque & stop-start management. This role involves working closely with cross-functional teams and utilizing various tools (vehicle, HIL, dyno, virtual environments, rapid prototyping) throughout the software development process to ensure the quality and robustness of production algorithms. The Controls Engineer will interface with systems and calibration teams to fully understand requirements, develop implementation strategies, assess compliance and robustness, ensure ease of calibration and document impacts against regulatory requirements. Responsibilities include implementing controls and software design efficiently, validating them against requirements in both virtual and physical environments throughout the production process as well as maintaining technical documentation. The Controls Engineer is also expected to provide technical guidance, training and act as an expert in their area of specialization. Controls algorithm development typically begins as an advanced effort but must ultimately meet program timelines and conform to high-level functional requirements. The ideal candidate must be a strong team player and willing to work in a fast-paced environment will actively participate in decision-making regarding control strategy design to achieve functional objectives. They will also ensure that the project remains on track by developing plans, tracking progress, and presenting technical reports to the management and project leaders.
