Chrysler Group plans to hire 1000 new engineers by the end of first quarter 2011. The reorganized company now controlled by Fiat is looking for college grads and those with more experience.
Chrysler seeks engineers in all fields, but – no surprise here – it is particularly interested in those with electrical, mechanical and manufacturing engineering backgrounds. Most of the new hires will likely work at the corporate headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. “Since June 2009, we’ve added approximately 5000 new employees, including 1000 engineers and technical personnel,” said Lisa Wicker, Chrysler Group’s director of Talent Acquisition & Corporate Diversity, “and we need to add more. We’re actively looking for smart and creative engineers who want to play a vital role in the future success of Chrysler.
New engineers will work on new small and mid-sized cars, as well as engines and transmissions, according to Wicker. The company plans to launch several new models during the next four years that are based on Fiat platforms.
