Sr. Specialist – Vehicle Dev. Tooling & Automation

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! What you’ll do 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.   The EE/SW Integration Manager at the OEM level owns  and  build s  the infrastructure that enables rapid, reliable iteration of vehicle software and electronics.  You’ll work close to the vehicle—developing  automation, integration pipelines, and test systems that connect embedded software running on ECUs with cloud-based development workflows.  This role goes beyond architecture compliance and focuses on feature behavior, timing performance, system robustness, drivability impact, and cross-domain interaction quality.   This role bridges embedded systems, software integration, and development infrastructure to enable efficient, scalable, and reliable engineering workflows.   Work directly with  MSTs,  software engineers, systems engineers, validation teams, and suppliers to ensure robust delivery.   Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following: End-to-End Toolchain architect responsible to develop and implement toolchains spanning: Code commit → build → ECU flashing → vehicle/HIL testing → data logging → analysis    Build internal developer tools (CLI, services, dashboards) to streamline engineering workflows with reliability and performance of integration pipelines.    Develop CI/CD systems tailored for embedded and distributed vehicle software with cross-compilation and artifact management    Automate ECU flashing (UDS, bootloaders) across benches and vehicles and OTA package generation and deployment workflows with integrating HIL rigs into automated pipelines.    Work directly with vehicle networks (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet) and develop tooling to monitor and simulate bus traffic, validate signal-level behavior across ECUs    Debug issues spanning firmware, middleware, and physical hardware.    Build and maintain SIL/HIL framework, vehicle-level regression systems, automate test orchestration across multiple environments (bench, dyno, fleet vehicles).    Create pipelines for ingesting and analyzing vehicle telemetry and test data.    Develop tools for log parsing (CAN traces, diagnostic logs), real-time monitoring and alerting    Enable engineers to quickly root-cause issues from large datasets.    Developer experience & velocity with one-command build/test/flash systems, reproducible dev environments (Docker, Nix, etc.)    Drive adoption of best practices in versioning, branching, and release management   Strong programming in Python and/or C++ (Go/Rust is a plus).    Deep experience with embedded systems development (bare-metal or RTOS).    Hands-on experience with vehicle communication protocols: CAN (DBC, UDS), LIN, Automotive Ethernet    Experience building CI/CD systems, familiarity with Linux-based development environments.    Location & Travel Expectations : This role may be based out of the  Scout Motors corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC .  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. What you’ll bring  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:  Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related field with 10+ yrs. Of experience   Strong understanding of vehicle
