Job Type: Full-time

Category: Engineering Management - Energy & Vehicle Systems Operations

Date Posted: 2026-06-05T20:47:51

Experience Level: 10+ Years

Remote Status: On-site

🚀 Role Summary

• Lead cross-functional teams in the integration and synthesis of energy management strategies for vehicle programs, ensuring adherence to critical performance metrics.

• Drive the simulation and validation of energy management systems to meet stringent Fuel Economy, EV Range, Performance, and Capability targets.

• Oversee program status, proactively manage risks, and deliver executive-level reporting to key stakeholders within the EMAT (Energy Management and Advanced Technologies) division.

• Facilitate critical trade-offs between efficiency, performance, and regulatory compliance, collaborating closely with Propulsion Systems, Vehicle Synthesis, and Regulatory affairs.

• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and accountability within a high-performing team of engineering professionals.

📝 Enhancement Note: This role sits within Stellantis's EMAT division, focusing on the operational execution of energy management strategies. The "Synthesis Design Manager" title implies a strong emphasis on integrating diverse engineering inputs and simulation data into cohesive, actionable plans. This is a leadership position requiring a deep understanding of vehicle systems and regulatory landscapes, with a significant focus on cross-functional collaboration and data-driven decision-making.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• Lead vehicle-level Energy Management performance initiatives, focusing on Fuel Economy, EV range, Longitudinal Performance, and overall Vehicle Capability.

• Own and communicate program status, identify potential risks, and develop mitigation strategies, providing regular executive reporting in alignment with EMAT Program Planning Leadership (PPL).

• Spearhead cross-functional trade-off analyses, balancing the complex interplay of efficiency, performance, and regulatory compliance to achieve program objectives.

• Ensure seamless integration and alignment with Propulsion Systems (including calibration, controls, hardware, and simulation), Vehicle Synthesis, and Regulatory teams throughout the entire development and validation lifecycle.

• Drive deep-dive analysis to integrate simulation outputs, test data, and engineering targets, ensuring robust and validated energy management solutions.

• Lead participation in the North American Fuel Economy & CO2 Working Group and coordinate closely with the Toyota-Sanyo-Research-Corporation (TSRC) for collaborative initiatives.

• Coordinate with Global EMAT, Propulsion Systems, and Regulatory teams to ensure successful adaptation and implementation for export programs.

• Guarantee compliance with current and emerging regulatory requirements related to fuel economy and emissions.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of engineers, fostering their professional growth and technical expertise.

• Proactively manage team priorities, resources, and execution timelines to ensure on-time delivery against critical milestones.

• Cultivate a team environment characterized by accountability, strong collaboration, and a commitment to continuous improvement in engineering processes and methodologies.

• Reinforce existing Energy Management processes and champion the development and adoption of new, innovative methodologies to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities highlight a blend of technical leadership, program management, and team development. The emphasis on "synthesis" means the individual must be adept at synthesizing information from various sources (simulation, testing, regulatory) into a unified strategy. The coordination with TSRC and global teams indicates the international scope of this role.
