XIL Framework Delivery Lead

Build your brand. Tell your story. Take advantage of a rare opportunity to build best-in-class xIL platforms from the ground up.

Stellantis is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by software and digital innovation. The Software Engineering (SWE) organization is leading this evolution by enabling next-generation vehicle experiences through scalable, high-performance development ecosystems.

The xIL Delivery Lead is a key member of the Software Engineering XIL Operational Management Team and plays a critical role in delivering and operating integrated L3 (SiL), L3+ (virtual system), and HiL platforms. This role focuses on platform ownership, deployment, and operations, enabling validation and development teams through robust, standardized xIL environments across all domains and vehicle programs.

• Lead the end-to-end delivery, integration, and lifecycle management of:




• L3 (SiL) environments for software development & integration
• L3+ virtual platforms for system-level integration & validation
• HiL systems for real-time embedded software deployment




• Ensure seamless integration of software, models, toolchains, and infrastructure across all xIL levels.
• Define and manage environment baselines, release processes, and configuration standards.
• Deliver fully integrated xIL systems aligned with vehicle program milestones.

• Lead the management, configuration, and integration of xIL toolchains, including:




• dSPACE, Vector VT Systems, NI, ETAS
• MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica-based tools
• CI/CD ecosystems (TeamCity, Git-based systems)




• Ensure platforms are:




• Scalable, stable, and high-performing
• Properly versioned and release-aligned




• Drive standardization and reuse of frameworks and tool configurations.

• Contribute as a core member of the xIL Operational Management team, supporting:




• Platform strategy and roadmap definition
• Cross-program prioritization and capacity planning
• Governance and operational decision-making




• Align xIL platform delivery with Stellantis V-cycle and software release milestones.
• Support transformation toward virtual-first validation (L3/L3+).

• Act as a customer-facing delivery leader, enabling internal teams across SWE, PRS, and VE.
• Drive adoption of xIL platforms by:




• Supporting onboarding and environment setup
• Providing usage guidance and best practices
• Assisting teams transitioning to L3/L3+ environments




• Identify and address barriers in:




• Tool usability
• Environment accessibility
• Process gaps




• Gather feedback and continuously enhance platform usability and efficiency.

• Monitor and ensure:




• High availability and uptime of xIL platforms
• Performance and scalability of simulation environments and HiL benches




• Establish and track:




• KPIs and dashboards (uptime, utilization, deployment lead time, issue resolution)




• Drive improvements in:




• Deployment automation
• Infrastructure efficiency
• Platform reliability

• Own xIL CAPEX, budget planning, and cost optimization:




• Hardware (HiL benches, compute resources)
• Software licenses and tool investments




• Perform resource estimation and capacity planning for global platform usage.

• Collaborate across:




• Software development, system engineering, validation teams
• DevOps, IT, TPMs, and domain organizations




• Act as technical liaison with tool vendors, managing:




• Integration and roadmap alignment
• Issue escalation and support coordination

• Cross functional lead
• Build capabilities in:




• Platform engineering
• System integration
• DevOps for simulation environments




• Foster a high-performance, customer-focused engineering culture.

• Strong leadership within an operational management environment
• Deep expertise in xIL infrastructure, platforms, and toolchains
• Customer-centric mindset and adoption leadership
• Systems thinking and integration capability
• Data-driven decision-making and operational discipline

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related field
• A minimum of 5 years of experience in automotive software, testing, or validation environments including a minimum of 3 years managing SiL/HiL platforms, toolchains, or infrastructure
• Strong experience with:




• dSPACE, Vector, NI, ETAS
• MATLAB/Simulink and model-based workflows
• CI/CD tools (e.g., TeamCity) and Git-based systems




• Understanding of:




• AUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive)
• Functional safety (ISO 26262)




• Experience with Agile, Scrum, or DFSS methodologies

• Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related field
• Experience working within global and cross-functional teams
• Background in platform delivery, systems integration, or DevOps environments
• Experience with:




• Budget planning and cost management
• Governance, risk management, and escalation handling




• Domain expertise in:




• Propulsion Systems, ADAS, Infotainment, or Chassis




• Agile/Scrum certification
