Responsibilities

just design vehicles- you shape the future of the road.

Our Engineering team is where bold ideas meet rigorous execution, building machines that are as durable and capable as the people who drive them.

This is a place where your fingerprints are found on metal – where what you design gets built, driven, and remembered.

hungry to engineer something that matters, Scout Motors is where that ambition finds its highest gear.

We are seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Lead Engineer to lead the design, development, and scale-up of automation tooling for next-generation Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) platforms.

This role focuses on CI/CD pipelines, automated test frameworks, validation infrastructure, and developer productivity tools across embedded automotive software ecosystems.
