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!

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

• Support the development, integration, and calibration of the powertrain and drive systems for Scout pickup trucks and SUVs (BEV / EREV)
• Coordinate inverter calibration activities across internal teams and suppliers, including alignment on requirements, calibration strategy, software maturity, validation status, and release timelines
• Lead and contribute to inverter-related calibration topics such as torque delivery, efficiency, thermal behavior, diagnostics, and overall drivability across operating conditions
• Own the development and calibration of Scout-specific Off Road functions, from concept to series release, ensuring a robust and authentic offroad driving experience
• Define and manage Off Road function requirements, interfaces, and operating strategies, including support for vehicles equipped with mechanical-locking differentials and other off-road features
• Develop and execute test cases for Off Road and inverter functions across SiL, HiL, testbench, and vehicle testing, including data analysis, documentation, and validation signoff
• Coordinate Off Road and inverter software release readiness, ensuring requirement coverage, calibration completeness, and validation compliance with program milestones
• Work closely with powertrain hardware, chassis, vehicle dynamics, systems engineering, and E/E teams to align on technical solutions
• Support prototype and vehicle testing activities, including calibration drives, offroad testing, data collection, analysis, and technical reporting
• Collaborate effectively in a cross-functional and global environment to deliver integrated, high-quality powertrain and Off Road solutions

Location & Travel Expectations:

• This role will be based out of the Scout Motors location in Novi, Michigan.
• 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 fast-paced, high-growth environment. You'll take a collaborative approach to achieve ambitious goals. Here's what else you'll bring:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3+ years of experience in powertrain or drive system development, calibration, and validation within concept or serial vehicle programs, preferably for electric or electrified vehicles (BEV / EREV)
• Hands-on experience with inverter calibration and coordination, including torque delivery, efficiency optimization, diagnostic behavior, thermal performance, and drivability
• Proven experience in function development across the V-model, including requirement definition, interface coordination, test case development, validation, and software release activities
• Experience developing, integrating, and validating Off-road or driveline-related functions, such as mechanical locking differentials, traction or torque based control strategies, or offroad driving modes
• Practical experience with calibration and validation on test benches and vehicles, including calibration test trips, structured data analysis, and technical documentation
• Familiarity with calibration and development tools such as ETAS INCA, MATLAB/Simulink, and data analysis environments
• Ability to read and understand Simulink models and C-based source code to support calibration, debugging, and functional discussions
• Experience working with cross-functional teams and suppliers, coordinating technical topics, timelines, and deliverables…
