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

Electrical Architect, Body Systems Lead is responsible for defining and managing the electrical and electronic architecture for Body Systems and for leading integration across related vehicle functions. This role bridges systems engineering, software development, electrical hardware, and cross-functional coordination to ensure functional integration and compliance with vehicle-level requirements. As the lead architect for the assigned Body Systems scope, this position addresses significant and unique technical issues, exercises independent judgment, and drives architecture decisions that may impact the broader function.

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:

Body Systems Architecture Execution

Define the advanced electrical architecture for Body Systems applications and develop the associated vehicle architecture data process. Evaluate complex interdependencies and technical tradeoffs across functional, logical, and physical architectures; identify inconsistencies; and devise solutions where precedent or complete information may not exist. Lead architecture alignment with Main System architects and related domains, and ensure consistency with vehicle-level requirements. Coordinate across groups, convey advanced technical information, and persuade diverse stakeholders to reach architecture decisions.

Body Systems Functions and Integration Leadership

Own system architecture and integration for assigned Body Systems functions from concept through production and post-launch support. Provide technical direction across relevant electrical, software, mechanical, controls, and validation interfaces; arbitrate cross-domain technical issues; and guide teams toward solutions that support overall vehicle and functional objectives. Act as a recognized subject matter expert for the assigned Body Systems architecture scope.

Project Timeline for Body Systems Development

Lead the architecture, integration, and validation readiness of assigned Body Systems functions in accordance with program timing. Drive functional deliverables to agreed milestones, including prototype builds, design verification (VFF), product validation (PVS), and vehicle launch gates. Evaluate risks and intangibles that may affect functional or program success, establish technical recovery direction when needed, and ensure required software, hardware, interface, and test deliverables are decision-ready at each milestone.
