Who are Mopar parts designed by?

In short, Mopar parts are designed by Stellantis’ in-house engineering and design teams for the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat brands, working with trusted suppliers to meet OEM standards and ensure proper fit.


Overview: the teams behind Mopar parts


The design and engineering work that goes into Mopar parts involves multiple groups across the Stellantis family. Brand engineering teams for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat collaborate with Mopar’s product development group to define requirements, specifications, and compatibility. External suppliers and contract manufacturers contribute components to those specifications, under strict quality controls to maintain OEM-level performance and reliability.


Before listing who contributes to Mopar parts, it helps to outline the key players in this ecosystem:



  • In-house engineers and designers within Stellantis’ vehicle brands (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat) who develop original-equipment parts for each model platform.

  • Mopar’s own product development and engineering team, which coordinates parts strategy, branding, and dealer-network support across the brands.

  • External suppliers and contract manufacturers supplying components that meet OEM specifications and quality standards.

  • Testing, validation, and regulatory-compliance partners that verify fit, performance, and safety before parts reach the market.


In summary, Mopar parts are the result of a collaborative effort among automaker engineering teams, Mopar’s product organization, and trusted suppliers to ensure OEM-grade parts for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat vehicles.


Design process and standards


To ensure reliability and proper fit, Mopar parts follow an end-to-end design and validation process that mirrors the rigor used for original equipment.


Before listing the steps, note that the process emphasizes platform accuracy, cross-model compatibility, and long-term durability across model years.



  • Concept and platform alignment with vehicle architecture and current model families.

  • Engineering design and CAD modeling using advanced software and inline reviews.

  • Prototype fabrication and fitment testing on actual vehicles to verify mounting points, clearances, and interference.

  • Durability, safety, and performance validation under real-world and simulated conditions.

  • Supplier qualification, tooling, and production ramp-up to ensure consistent part quality.

  • Quality assurance, post-market feedback loops, and ongoing product improvements.


These steps help ensure Mopar replacement parts meet or exceed OEM standards, preserving proper fit and function across model years and regions.


Why this matters for consumers


Genuine OEM quality and warranty


Mopar parts are designed to meet the same specifications as the original equipment, and most parts carry warranties aligned with the automaker or Mopar program. This helps ensure compatibility, reliability, and support if issues arise.


Identifying genuine Mopar parts


Look for official Mopar branding, part numbers that align with your vehicle’s VIN or manufacturer listings, and purchase through authorized dealers or the official Mopar channels. This helps guard against counterfeit parts and ensures you receive components that meet OEM standards.


Summary


Mopar parts are the product of a collaborative design effort within Stellantis, combining the expertise of brand engineering teams, Mopar’s product development organization, and a network of trusted suppliers. The process follows rigorous stages from concept to production, ensuring OEM-grade fit, performance, and warranties for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat vehicles. For owners, this translates into reliable replacements and accessories that maintain the intended reliability and performance of their vehicles.
