Propulsion System Validation Engineer

The Powertrain Qualification Testing team operates in a fast-paced, dynamic environment within the Vehicle & Propulsion Controls organization. Our mission is to identify software defects in electrified and internal combustion engine (ICE) powertrains, ensuring the delivery of robust, high-quality software. Our team is global, and we are seeking strong entry level contributors to support our North American regional activities. The ideal candidate is a team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about learning and problem-solving.

This role is responsible for the validation of production powertrain control modules, including hardware, software, and calibrations—primarily in the battery electric vehicle (BEV) arena, with some legacy ICE projects. Validation activities include testing in both vehicle environments and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation systems.

The engineer will execute DVP&R test procedures, perform initial root-cause analysis of failures, and document issues. The individual will interface with the Validation Project Chief and peer technical teams to report DVP&R results and track open issues.

The candidate should be a self-starter, capable of learning quickly on the job and contributing to improvements in testing strategies and processes, including requirements traceability, test feedback, and issue resolution.

This position is based at the Chrysler Technical Center (CTC) in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
