Sr. Specialist – L2 Drive Energy Integration
Scout MotorsAbout the role
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
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Engineer – Drive & Energy Systems Integration & Validation to support the development, integration, and validation of advanced drive and energy features for next-generation Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) platforms. This role focuses on customer-facing and vehicle-critical drive and energy systems including propulsion controls, charging systems, battery management, regenerative braking, thermal systems, power distribution, and energy optimization features. The engineer will support feature integration and validation activities across HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), bench, dyno, and vehicle environments. The ideal candidate has strong experience in EV/SDV architectures, powertrain integration, diagnostics, and vehicle networking with a focus on delivering robust, safe, and efficient drive and energy functionality.
Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:
- Own integration of all domain controllers and distributed ECUs into the vehicle E/E architecture with focus in Drive, Energy systems.
- Own Software Integration & Validation per vehicle software maturity, performance and release gates and approve vehicle integration builds (per milestones).
- Integrate and validate vehicle drive and energy features across prototype, bench, HIL, SIL, and vehicle test environments.
- Expertise in integration of electric propulsion systems, inverters and motor control systems, Battery Management Systems (BMS), onboard charging systems, DC fast charging and charging communication
- Experience with thermal and energy management systems, power distribution and HV systems, drive modes and torque management and vehicle power states and sleep/wake management
- Support software and hardware bring-up for drive and energy ECUs, gateways, and zonal controllers.
- Support features bring-up, calibration validation, and vehicle-level functionality testing.
- Validation responsible for network topology, gateway routing strategies, signal database integrity (DBC, ARXML), bandwidth utilization and bus loading
- Validate and manage vehicle communication across CAN / CAN-FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet (100/1000BASE-T1), FlexRay network framework
- Validate and release bootloader compatibility, flashing strategy, partitioning strategy (AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive), Memory and CPU utilization budgets
- Develop and execute HIL and SIL test cases for body feature functionality and subsystem interactions.
- Validate feature behaviors, diagnostics, fault handling, and software integration using simulation environments.
- Validate wake-up/sleep strategies across ECUs, ensure no unintended current draw or parasitic drain and correct power state transitions during vehicle power cycles, star
