Sr. Specialist – L1 Integration Testing

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.

This role goes beyond architecture compliance and focuses on feature behavior, timing performance, system robustness, drivability impact, and cross-domain interaction quality. The position owns vehicle-level validation of how the vehicle actually behaves under real-world conditions — including transient events, edge cases, environmental stress, and feature concurrency. Work directly with 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: Own integration of all domain controllers and distributed ECUs into the vehicle E/E architecture.  Own Software Integration & Validation per vehicle software maturity, performance and release gates and approve vehicle integration builds (per milestones).  Ensure alignment to OEM-defined zonal or domain-based architectures.  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  Coordinate integration across Powertrain / Electrification (BMS, inverter, charging), Body & Comfort, ADAS / AD compute platforms, Infotainment & Connectivity, Central Compute / Zonal Controllers  Validate that system behavior meets system requirement specifications (SRS) under nominal conditions, boundary conditions, fault injection scenarios, high bus load scenarios, low voltage and cold crank conditions  Own vehicle-level regression test planning, drive root cause analysis of cross-domain issues and help support integration war-room activities during DV/PV builds.  Release and validate functional KPIs such as defect leakage rate, integration maturity index, build stability metrics, bus load margins, SW flash success rate etc.  Validate wake-up/sleep strategies across ECUs, ensure no unintended current draw or parasitic drain and correct power state transitions during vehicle power cycles, start/stop/sleep, OTA updates/events  Validate UDS/DoIP response timing, diagnostic sessions do not degrade functional performance, DTC accuracy and freeze frame integrity and robustness.  Location & Travel Expectations: This role may be based out of the Scout Motors corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC or 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.
