Here at Scout Motors, we're carrying forward the heritage of one of the most iconic American vehicles in history. A vehicle dating back to 1960. One that forged the path for future generations of rugged SUVs and trucks and will do so once again.

But Scout is more than just a brand, it's a legacy steeped in a culture of exploration, caretaking, and hard work.

The Scout brand is all about respect. Respect for the past and the future by taking an iconic American brand that hasn't been around for a while, electrifying it, digitizing it, and loading it with American innovation. Respect for communities by creating a company that stands for its people and its customers. Respect for both work and play, with vehicles that are equally at home at a camp site, a job site, or on a Tuesday commute.

And respect for our customers by developing two powertrains that meet their requirements — an all-electric powertrain as well as the Harvester™ range extender powertrain which includes a built-in gas-powered generator with an estimated 500 miles of combined range.

At Scout Motors, we empower our talented, inclusive, and entrepreneurial teams to innovate. What makes a Scout employee? Someone who is a visionary and a leader, who seeks new paths and shares lessons learned. A knowledgeable doer who collaborates across the company to build better. A go-getter with unrivaled passion.

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.

Your engineering ingenuity, wonder & magic in integrating diagnostic systems across complex software and hardware architectures will be instrumental in shaping the perception of Scout as a brand, as well as gaining peer admiration in the automotive industry.

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

• Lead the integration of OBD functions across the software-defined vehicle architecture, ensuring consistent behavior across ECUs, domains, and central compute elements
• Coordinate the implementation of OBD requirements across powertrain, energy, thermal, chassis, and body domains, ensuring alignment of diagnostic concepts and system behavior
• Ensure correct interaction between OBD monitors, diagnostic events, vehicle states, and system-level conditions, including startup, driving, charging, and degraded modes
• Integrate and validate DTC behavior, fault propagation, readiness states, and diagnostic consistency across distributed systems
• Collaborate closely with OBD system engineers, requirements engineers, software teams, controls engineers, and validation teams to ensure correct end-to-end implementation
• Analyze system-level diagnostic issues using vehicle data, HIL/MIL results, and network traces, and drive root-cause identification and resolution
• Support development and validation teams in defining integration test scenarios, including edge cases, fault injection, and cross-domain interactions
• Ensure traceability from OBD requirements to system integration and validation results, supporting release readiness and quality gates
• Identify integration gaps, inconsistencies, or architectural limitations and propose robust and scalable solutions
• Support vehicle integration phases, including prototype builds, test campaigns, and software release validation
• Contribute to the continuous improvement…
