Multinational automaker Stellantis is making a big hiring push for low-wage engineers in Brazil, India, Mexico, and Morocco after laying off 400 Americans in its engineering, software, and technology departments in March.
On March 22, Stellantis executives announced that 400 salaried engineering and software employees in Auburn Hills, Michigan, would be laid off to cut costs. An industry insider told Automotive News that Stellantis is making gradual layoffs in the United States to avoid WARN Act disclosures.
Following layoffs of its American employees, Stellantis executives are looking to hire engineers for a fraction of the cost by hiring in Brazil, India, Mexico, and Morocco. Whereas Stellantis must pay American engineers $150,000 to $200,000 salaries, the automaker can pay engineers in low-wage countries just $53,000 a year.

Not going to go very well
You get what you pay for............no more, no less....................
Engineering education by rote memory.
Probably get designs using materials forged with peppers.
These companies want people to believe they can’t find qualified Americans to fill the jobs, but the real reason they hire overseas is the lower cost.
Note to self: Never buy a Stellantis!
Their designs may have excess carbon gas however.
I hate unions.
Please interview each of the 400.
If they refuse to talk they’re a Democrat.
If they make up some nonsense they’re a Democrat.
Why? Because not one of them is willing to admit how effin’ dumb they are for voting Biden and the Left
Here's your NEW ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT!...............
IBM did the same thing in Dec.
They called yesterday to see if I would come back.
Nope.
Remember when we saw all our manufacturing jobs leave to China? The talking heads said “no worries we just need to re-educate and get workers more tech savvy for design and maintenance jobs”.
The truth is if the bottom dollar is our only goal no job is safe.
that is until our living standards are as low as 3rd world nations…
Quality control will be an issue.
Good luck with that.
Nothing wrong with memory. But you have to be able to think too.
I was at a site in Indonesia - the American manager called the local engineers Automotans. “They can recite all of the equations on page 326 perfectly. But they have no clue when applying it to the real world.”
Stellantis jut following the national trend Biden set up.
What hush money?????????????????????????????????????????
“Note to self: Never buy a Stellantis!”
All of their vehicles, according to J.D. Power and Associates, are real crap.
I spent 20 years as an engineer and I know this, you get what you pay for.
It takes time to develop an experienced engineer.
The real world is way more complex than school was.
You need mentors and collaboration.
