Sr. Specialist – Vehicle Dev. Tooling & Automation

Join us at Scout Motors and be part of shaping the future of transportation. If you're ready to drive change and make history, apply now!

At Scout Motors, you don't just design vehicles- you shape the future of the road. Our Engineering team is where bold ideas meet rigorous execution, building machines that are as durable and capable as the people who drive them. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with brilliant minds across disciplines, turning complex challenges into elegant, scalable solutions that meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and user experience.

This is a place where your fingerprints are found on metal – where what you design gets built, driven, and remembered. If you're hungry to engineer something that matters, Scout Motors is where that ambition finds its highest gear.

The EE/SW Integration Manager at the OEM level owns and builds the infrastructure that enables rapid, reliable iteration of vehicle software and electronics. You'll work close to the vehicle—developing automation, integration pipelines, and test systems that connect embedded software running on ECUs with cloud-based development workflows. This role goes beyond architecture compliance and focuses on feature behavior, timing performance, system robustness, drivability impact, and cross-domain interaction quality.

This role bridges embedded systems, software integration, and development infrastructure to enable efficient, scalable, and reliable engineering workflows. Work directly with MSTs, software engineers, systems engineers, validation teams, and suppliers to ensure robust delivery.

Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:

• End-to-End Toolchain architect responsible to develop and implement tool chains spanning:
  Code commit → build → ECU flashing → vehicle/HIL testing → data logging → analysis
• Build internal developer tools (CLI, services, dashboards) to streamline engineering workflows with reliability and performance of integration pipelines.
• Develop CI/CD systems tailored for embedded and distributed vehicle software with cross-compilation and artifact management
• Automate ECU flashing (UDS, bootloaders) across benches and vehicles and OTA package generation and deployment workflows with integrating HIL rigs into automated pipelines.
• Work directly with vehicle networks (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet) and develop tooling to monitor and simulate bus traffic, validate signal-level behavior across ECUs
• Debug issues spanning firmware, middleware, and physical hardware.
• Build and maintain SIL/HIL framework, vehicle-level regression systems, automate test orchestration across multiple environments (bench, dyno, fleet vehicles).
• Create pipelines for ingesting and analyzing vehicle telemetry and test data.
• Develop tools for log parsing (CAN traces, diagnostic logs), real-time monitoring and alerting
• Enable engineers to quickly root-cause issues from large datasets.
• Developer experience & velocity with one-command build/test/flash systems, reproducible dev environments (Docker, Nix, etc.)
• Drive adoption of best practices in versioning, branching, and release management
• Strong programming in Python and/or C++ (Go/Rust is a plus).
• Deep experience with embedded systems development (bare-metal or RTOS).
• Hands-on experience with vehicle communication protocols: CAN (DBC, UDS), LIN, Automotive Ethernet
• Experience building CI/CD systems, familiarity with Linux-based development environments.

Location & Travel Expectations:

• This role may be based out of the Scout Motors corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC.
• This role requires 4-5 days per week in the office, with regular in-person meetings and events.
• Applicants should expect that the role will require the ability to convene with Scout colleagues in person and travel to participate in events on behalf of the company from time to time.

We expect all Scout employees to have integrity, curiosity, resourcefulness, and strive to exhibit a positive attitude, as well as a growth mindset. You'll be comfortable with change and flexible in a…
