Klopp led Dortmund to two German titles and a Champions League final and the Bundesliga side brushed aside Azerbaijan's FK Qabala 3-1 in Baku.
Qabala had not conceded in 450 minutes of European football at the Bakcell Arena until Aubameyang opened the scoring on 31 minutes with a curling 25-metre effort.
Seven minutes later he doubled the visitors' advantage from close range, and got his third in the second half when he pounced on a loose ball after keeper Dmytro Bezotosniy produced a fine save to deny substitute Sven Bender.
Dodo got a stoppage time consolation goal for Qabala. The win for new boss Thomas Tuchel left Dortmund top of Group C.
