Design and release body sealing systems, adhesives, mastics and foams for Stellantis vehicle programs
Worth knowing
Why it is interesting. Broad materials scope — sealers, adhesives, mastics, tapes and foams — across full vehicle lifecycle from design to plant launch.
Might not be for you. Heavy documentation and validation coordination; plant containment and supplier trial support, not open-ended R&D.
