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!

Overview

The Electrical Architect, Vehicle Control Systems is a senior individual contributor responsible for defining and managing the electronic architecture for assigned vehicle control applications, operating modes, and vehicle state management systems. This role bridges systems engineering, software development, and cross-functional coordination to ensure functional integration and compliance with vehicle-level requirements. As a Feature Partner, the role coordinates work and support across vehicle control features and functions and frequently advises stakeholders on complex architecture and integration matters.

What you’ll do

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

Architecture Execution:

You will help define the advanced electrical architecture for Scout Motors applications and develop the associated vehicle architecture data process. Responsibilities include evaluating interdependencies and variable factors, identifying inconsistencies, and selecting or adapting methods and evaluation criteria to create effective solutions in collaboration with Main System architects. You will ensure consistency across functional, logical, and physical architectures in line with requirements. You will actively manage interfaces and build networks with key stakeholders inside and outside the immediate area of expertise. Strong cross-domain technical judgment and collaboration skills are essential.

Vehicle Control Functions Support:

For assigned vehicle control and state management functions, take end-to-end accountability for design, development, integration, validation, and performance from concept through production and post-launch support. The portfolio may include REEV feature and system architecture, vehicle state management, vehicle application modes, and vehicle application controls. Exercise independent judgment to resolve complex, cross-domain issues and escalate material program risks with clear recommendations.

Project Timeline for Function Development:

As Feature Partner, be accountable for the development, integration, and validation of assigned vehicle control functions in accordance with the project timeline. Align functional deliverables with agreed program milestones, including prototype builds, design verification (VFF), product validation (PVS), and vehicle launch gates. Ensure function-level software, hardware, and test deliverables are completed, reviewed, and approved at each milestone to support system integration and program readiness.
