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.

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.

Technical Program Manager (TPM) with deep expertise in System/Architecture Requirements, Electrical Integration, and Embedded Software Integration for modern vehicle platforms. This role combines hands-on technical understanding with program leadership, system/architecture development and execution ensuring that electronic control units (ECUs), networks, and software stacks integrate seamlessly and meet all functional, safety, and quality requirements. Drive vehicle-level system integration, coordinating embedded software releases, ECU hardware maturity, diagnostics, validation, and compliance activities. Work directly with software engineers, systems engineers, validation teams, and suppliers to ensure robust delivery. This role requires deep expertise of Jira/Confluence/ Dashboarding to drive progression of work.

→Drive early System-V requirement development and deliverables for Software Defined Vehicle feature/functions
→Drive Requirement/EE/SW integration activities for prototype, pre-production, and production builds.
→Manage ECU-level and network-level integration issues across CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Automotive Ethernet.
→Ensure bootloader, flashing, and software update processes (OTA or UDS-based) are fully validated.
→Oversee network bring-up, diagnostics verification, and DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) testing.
→Align interface control documents (ICDs), network description files (DBC, LDF, FIBEX, ARXML), and ensure configuration consistency.
→Review ECU software release notes to confirm feature completeness and backward compatibility.
→Coordinate SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and full vehicle integration testing.
→Drive test automation and regression coverage for system-level functionality using tools such as dSPACE, Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, ETAS LABCAR, or NI Veristand.
→Ensure test results are traceable to system and software requirements.
→Track power consumption, network load, wake-up/sleep, and timing analysis during integration phases.
→Own open issue dashboards (JIRA, ALM, or similar) and ensure clear root cause tracking with engineering teams.
→Support change management and version control (Git, SVN, or PTC tools) to maintain ECU software integrity.
→Validate that ASIL-level software components meet ISO 26262 compliance requirements.
→Coordinate FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DFMEA closure for integration-related issues.
→Interface with EE design teams, SW developers, calibration engineers, and supplier integration teams to align dependencies.
→Communicate integration readiness metrics (flash status, network stability, regression pass rates) to leadership.
→Prepare gate review documentation, highlighting technical maturity and open risk items before release.
