What Stellantis is and where it hires

Stellantis is a multinational automaker formed in 2021 from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the PSA Group. The company manufactures vehicles under brands including Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, and Fiat. It operates manufacturing plants, engineering centers, and administrative offices across North America, Europe, and other regions.

The company hires for roles in manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, sales, finance, human resources, and information technology. Most manufacturing jobs are based at assembly plants in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and other states. Engineering and corporate positions are concentrated in Auburn Hills, Michigan (North American headquarters) and other regional centers.

Stellantis posts open positions on its official careers website, through LinkedIn, and occasionally through third-party job boards. The company also recruits through universities for entry-level engineering and finance roles, and accepts applications for internships and co-op programs.

How to search for open positions

The primary source for Stellantis job openings is the company's official careers website. Navigate to stellantis.com/careers and use the search filters to narrow results by job title, location, business unit (such as Manufacturing, Engineering, or Corporate), and experience level (Entry Level, Mid-Career, or Experienced).

You can also search by keyword — for example, "quality engineer," "production associate," or "supply chain analyst" — to find roles matching your background. The site allows you to save searches and set up job alerts, which send notifications when new positions matching your criteria are posted.

LinkedIn also lists Stellantis positions, often with additional context about the team and hiring manager. Searching "Stellantis" on LinkedIn and following the company page ensures you see new postings. Some roles are also advertised through Indeed, Glassdoor, and automotive industry job boards, though the official Stellantis site remains the most complete source.

What to expect in the process process

After finding a role that matches your background, you will create an account on the Stellantis careers portal using your email address. You then upload your resume and answer a series of screening questions specific to the position. These questions typically ask about your relevant experience, willingness to work shifts (for manufacturing roles), relocation readiness, and background check consent.

The system may also include a brief assessment — for technical roles, this might be a coding or engineering problem; for customer-facing positions, it might test communication skills. These assessments are completed online and scored automatically. Submission is when ready, but review by a recruiter typically takes one to three weeks.

If your process passes initial screening, a recruiter will contact you by phone or email to schedule a phone interview. This conversation usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes and covers your work history, interest in the role, and basic job fit. If that goes well, you may be invited to an in-person or video interview with the hiring manager or a panel.

Job categories and typical requirements

Manufacturing and production roles are the largest category of Stellantis hiring. Production associates, machine operators, and assembly line workers typically need a high school diploma or GED, the ability to work rotating shifts, and willingness to stand for long periods. Many manufacturing positions offer paid training on the job. Shift work often includes first shift (day), second shift (evening), and third shift (night), with rotation schedules varying by plant.

Engineering positions — including manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, and electrical engineers — require a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field. Some roles prefer or require professional engineering licensure (PE) or experience with specific software platforms. Entry-level engineering roles often hire recent graduates; mid-career roles typically ask for three to five years of relevant experience.

Supply chain, logistics, and procurement roles require strong organizational skills and often a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business, or a related field. Finance and accounting positions typically require a bachelor's degree and may ask for CPA certification or accounting software experience. Corporate and administrative roles vary widely but often require a bachelor's degree and relevant professional experience.

Understanding compensation and benefits

Stellantis compensation varies significantly by role, location, and seniority. Manufacturing positions typically pay hourly wages that start at a base rate and increase with tenure and skill level. The company has union agreements at many plants, which set wage scales and benefits. Exact hourly rates depend on the specific plant, job classification, and whether you are in a union or non-union role.

Salaried positions in engineering, supply chain, and corporate functions offer annual salaries that reflect market rates for the role and your experience. The company typically offers health insurance (medical, dental, vision), a 401(k) retirement plan with company matching, paid time off, and life insurance. Some roles include tuition reimbursement, professional development budgets, or relocation information.

Stellantis also offers employee discounts on vehicle purchases and service, which can represent significant savings for employees. Specific benefits packages vary by employment type (hourly versus salaried), location, and tenure. You can request a detailed benefits summary during the offer stage or ask the recruiter for information before you decide.

Timeline from process to start date

The hiring timeline at Stellantis depends on the role and current hiring volume. For manufacturing positions, the process typically takes four to eight weeks from process to job offer. For engineering and corporate roles, expect six to twelve weeks. Some positions move faster if there is urgent staffing need; others move slower during periods of lower hiring activity.

After you receive an offer, there is usually a two-week window to accept or decline. Once you accept, the company will initiate a background check and, for some roles, a drug screening. These typically take one to two weeks to complete. Your start date is usually set for two to four weeks after you accept the offer, though this can be negotiated if you need more time.

If you are relocating for the role, Stellantis may offer relocation information for certain positions, particularly salaried roles. Discuss this with your recruiter before accepting the offer, as policies vary by location and job level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to live near a Stellantis plant to work there?

No. While manufacturing roles are location-specific to plants, many engineering and corporate positions are based in regional centers like Auburn Hills, Michigan, or can be remote depending on the role. When you search for positions, the location filter shows where each job is based. Some roles offer relocation information if you are moving from out of state.

How long does it take to hear back after explore?

Initial review typically takes one to three weeks. If your process passes screening, a recruiter will contact you to schedule a phone interview. If you do not hear anything within four weeks, you can contact the recruiter listed on the job posting or check your process status on the careers portal.

What happens if I do not pass the online assessment?

If you do not advance past the assessment, you will receive a rejection email. Some roles allow you to reapply after a waiting period (often 90 days). You can also reach out to the recruiter to ask for feedback on your performance, though detailed feedback is not always available.

Are there internship or entry-level programs for recent graduates?

Yes. Stellantis hires interns and co-op students, particularly in engineering, finance, and supply chain. These programs are posted on the careers site under "Entry Level" or "Students." The company also participates in campus recruiting at engineering and business schools. Check the careers portal or contact your university's career services office for information about Stellantis recruiting events.

Can I transfer between Stellantis locations or roles?

Internal transfers are possible after you have been with the company for a certain period (typically six months to one year, depending on the role). You can explore for internal positions through the careers portal using your employee login. Discuss transfer opportunities with your manager or HR representative to understand the process at your specific location.
