Job Description
The Structures and Interiors Innovation Engineer operates within the Concept and Pre-Program Engineering organization, supporting the Structures and Interiors Innovation function. This role is responsible for leading advanced engineering initiatives that integrate Body-in-White (BIW), Structures, and Interior systems, with a focus on developing scalable, production-feasible innovations and features for Stellantis.
The position serves as project leader, technical pilot, and single-point engineering authority for innovation programs spanning upper body, structures, greenhouse, passenger compartment, rear shelf, rear compartment, exteriors, glazing, seating, cockpit, and restraint systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead advanced innovation projects from concept definition through feasibility and proof-of-concept (POC) validation, with clear technical ownershipServe as the single-point technical interface for cross-functional teams (design, CAE, manufacturing, suppliers)Develop and mature integrated Structures-Interiors solutions that deliver measurable improvements in:
Mass reduction / lightweightingCost and investment efficiencyManufacturing feasibility and complexity reductionProduct performance (NVH, durability, crash, usability)Apply deep expertise in BIW Structures and Interior Systems to resolve complex engineering problems and enable differentiated vehicle featuresDrive multi-material strategies (steel, aluminum, magnesium, composites), advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., additive manufacturing, forming, joining) and Interiors integration of Seats, Instrument Panel, Cockpit, Consoles and Restraints.
Translate innovation concepts into validated engineering-ready architectures and package solutionsSupport Technology Roadmap development for Structures and Interiors in alignment with Discipline Manager - Advanced Structures and Interiors leadership and present to Technical Executives.
Interface with global teams and suppliers to ensure technical alignment and execution feasibilityLead and contribute to early-stage CAD, architecture studies, and system-level trade-off analyses
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in engineeringMinimum 6 years of engineering experience, including:4 years in BIW Structures design/development and/or Interior Systems release engineeringDemonstrated track record of:
Increasing technical responsibility and leadership in engineering programsDriving engineering solutions from concept to implementationMentoring and developing technical talentStrong capability in:
Technical communication (written and verbal)Analytical and experience-based problem solvingCross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced engineering environment
Preferred Qualifications:
