Summary

Base Salary - USD $130,000 to $160,000

Your engineering ingenuity, wonder & magic in structuring OBD mode behavior will be instrumental in shaping the perception of Scout as a brand, as well as gaining peer admiration in the automotive industry.

Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:
  • Own the definition of OBD mode management requirements for Scout's software-defined vehicle platform, ensuring monitors and diagnostic functions execute correctly within the appropriate vehicle and system states
  • Define the logic, interfaces, and requirements governing when OBD monitors are enabled, inhibited, suspended, resumed, or reset across all relevant operating modes
  • Specify how diagnostic behavior shall interact with system states such as drive enable, charging, sleep / wake-up, limp-home, thermal protection, communication degradation, and software update conditions
  • Collaborate with architecture, software, controls, diagnostics, and validation teams to ensure consistent state management across domains and ECUs
  • Develop and maintain clear, testable requirements for state transitions, mode gating, monitor execution dependencies, and fault handling behavior
  • Ensure diagnostic mode management aligns with vehicle lifecycle needs, including prototype use, production use, service use, and release validation
  • Work with software development teams to support implementation of scalable mode management concepts in central and distributed diagnostic functions
  • Support the derivation of system tests and validation scenarios that verify monitor availability and behavior across nominal and abnormal operating states
  • Analyze integration issues related to state transitions, monitor suppression, incomplete readiness, or unexpected fault behavior and drive structured resolution
  • Coordinate and contribute through prototype and serial development stages in terms of software availability, data analysis, technical alignment, and release readiness
  • Partner with systems architecture teams to define a robust and future-proof diagnostic operating concept for Scout's SDV architecture
  • Be involved in other related tasks / activities as required
  • Strong interpersonal skills including ownership, analytical thinking, systems mindset, communication skills, and proven ability to work in a cross-functional and global environment
  • Motivated engineer wanting to create robust and scalable diagnostic behavior for next-generation electric vehicles

Location & Travel Expectations:
  • This role will be based out of the Scout Motors location in Novi, Michigan.
  • 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:
  • Relevant degree such as a bachelor's or master's degree in Engineering, Technology, IT Systems, Computer Science, Mechatronics, Controls, or Engineering Technology from an accredited college or university, preferably in electrical engineering, automotive engineering, or systems engineering
  • 8+ years of experience in automotive software, controls, diagnostics, or requirements engineering, with strong exposure to mode management, state machines, and function orchestration
  • Experience defining requirements for diagnostic mode management, including monitor enablement, execution preconditions, power modes, operating states, and fault reaction dependencies
  • Strong understanding of how OBD behavior depends on vehicle states such as ignition / wake-up, charging, propulsion enable, thermal states, communication availability, and degraded operation modes
  • Experience working in a software-defined vehicle architecture with distributed software functions, central coordination, and cross-domain state dependencies
  • Ability to define and document mode logic in a structured and testable way, including state transitions, inhibit conditions, interlocks, and monitor availability conditions
  • Hands-on experience with requirements tools such as Jama, DOORS, or Polarion, and with validation / development tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, CANoe, INCA, or similar
  • Familiarity with diagnostics, UDS/OBD concepts, control software development, and system integration in electrified vehicle platforms
  • Ability to read and understand Simulink flow diagrams, functional logic specifications, interface definitions, and software architecture concepts
  • Strong interpersonal skills including ownership, analytical thinking, systems mindset, communication skills, and proven ability to work in a cross-functional and global environment
  • Motivated engineer wanting to create robust and scalable diagnostic behavior for next-generation electric vehicles
