HiLand Requirements Coordinator – Drive Systems (BEV / REEV)

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.

If you're hungry to engineer something that matters, Scout Motors is where that ambition finds its highest gear.  As HiL and Requirements Coordinator – Drive Systems, you will combine two critical responsibilities in one role:  Coordinating all Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HiL) activities for BEV and REEV drive‑system components  Owning the requirements and test‑case management processes for the drive system, ensuring quality, maturity, and transparency across development phases  This role is central to ensuring functional correctness, software quality, and release readiness for the Scout drive system. Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following: HiL Coordination Responsibilities  Coordinate all HiL activities within the drive system for BEV and REEV components, acting as the central interface between software development, function owners, calibration, testing, and systems engineering teams  Plan, steer, and supervise HiL test execution, ensuring test environments, configurations, software builds, and test content are available and aligned with program priorities  Coordinate the HiL execution team responsible for test implementation and execution, providing clear scope, priorities, test objectives, and acceptance criteria This role focuses on coordination and governance rather than hands‑on test development or scripting.  Define and align HiL test strategies for drive‑system functions, covering operating strategies, diagnostics, fault reactions, degraded modes, and system‑level integration behavior  Track HiL execution progress, manage dependencies, identify risks or bottlenecks, and drive timely resolution in collaboration with function and validation stakeholders  Ensure HiL activities are aligned across prototype and serial development phases, supporting integration milestones, validation reviews, and software release readiness  Requirements & Test‑Case Coordination Responsibilities  Own and oversee drive‑system requirements management, including:  Reviewing completeness, clarity, and consistency of functional and system requirements  Ensuring requirements follow defined development processes and quality standards  Tracking requirement maturity, changes, and status throughout development  Coordinate and control drive‑system test‑case management, ensuring:  Test cases are correctly derived from requirements and acceptance criteria  Coverage, execution status, and results are monitored across HiL activities  Traceability is maintained between requirements, test cases, and validation outcomes  Assess and monitor the quality of the underlying processes for requirements and test‑case management, identifying gaps, risks, or inconsistencies and driving corrective actions  Provide structured and transparent status reporting on HiL progress, requirements maturity, and test‑case coverage to support technical and program decision making  Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Support  Liaise closely with function development, calibration, systems architecture, and validation teams to align priorities, resolve issues, and support integration decisions  Support technical discussions by reviewing test results, contributing to root‑cause analysis, and coordinating follow‑up testing or fixes  Coordinate software and function readiness in support of prototype builds, validation phases, and release milestones  Support additional related tasks and activities required to ensure robust drive‑system validation and timely delivery  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 i
