Electrical Root Cause Engineer

Stellantis is seeking an Electrical Root Cause Engineer who will be responsible for understanding the development, design, and system interaction of electrical and electronic systems within vehicles, including automotive body, audio, active chassis, and safety systems. This role requires a deep understanding of automotive technology, specification analysis, system understanding, and strong analytical skills to ensure that systems meet the defined design expectations.

The Engineer will work with Validation teams to ensure the reliability and performance of automotive systems by analyzing test results, troubleshooting, reproducing issues, and resolving component and system performance issues by identifying root causes. The role involves collaboration with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions.
