“Training new engineers means investing in the future of mobility. With this program, we offer young talent the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects while strengthening Brazil and South America’s role as a leader in automotive innovation. We believe that innovation and human development go hand in hand. For this reason, we have joined forces with UFPE to create a learning environment that combines academic knowledge and technological practice,” says Márcio Tonani, senior vice president of Stellantis Engineering Technical Centers for South America.
“The formation of the triple helix formed by UFPE (university), FACEPE/SECTI (government) and Stellantis (industry) shows that technology residency programs have proven to be a real success as an entry point for professionals to the automotive industry. With continuous change in pursuit of innovation, the future of automotive propulsion systems has been the focus of many research projects between academia and industry. In this context, the partnership with Stellantis is more than strategic: it is essential to train professionals aligned with the latest technologies and prepared to face the major technological challenges of the coming years,” stresses Abel Guilhermino, coordinator of one of the residency programs.
Based in Recife, Pernambuco, the technology residency program is a free six-month postgraduate sensu-side program. Selected candidates will undergo five months of distance learning theoretical classes, followed by one month of hands-on, in-person or distance learning, with training provided by Stellantis and UFPE. The specializations involve a workload of 360 hours and will be coordinated by professors Abel Guilhermino (Controls), Divanilson Campelo (Calibration) and Breno Miranda (Software).Information about the course, selection process and schedule are available at the announcement link: here.
