OBD Requirements Sr Engineer – Mode Management

Here at Scout Motors were 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 its 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 hasnt 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.
