Job description

Base Salary - USD $130,000 to $160,000
Your engineering ingenuity, wonder & magic in defining the OBD system architecture 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:
  • Take over responsibility for the system-level definition of the OBD architecture for Scout's BEV and EREV vehicle platforms within a new software-defined vehicle environment
  • Define and maintain the overall OBD system concept, including monitor philosophy, readiness logic, fault reaction behavior, diagnostic architecture, and regulatory alignment
  • Translate regulatory, vehicle-level, and architectural needs into structured and traceable OBD system requirements
  • Define the interaction of OBD functions with powertrain controls, thermal systems, energy management, vehicle operating modes, and cross-domain software services
  • Establish consistent diagnostic behavior across domains, ensuring alignment between system architecture, software implementation, validation strategy, and service requirements
  • Work closely with OBD requirements engineers, software teams, controls engineers, validation engineers, and system architects to align interfaces and ensure complete implementation
  • Support the definition of monitor execution conditions, diagnostic event handling, DTC strategies, and vehicle-state dependencies
  • Ensure consistent and scalable integration of OBD functions into the SDV architecture, including support for central compute concepts, domain controllers, and communication gateways
  • Drive requirements decomposition and allocation into software, controls, and validation deliverables while ensuring completeness, consistency, and testability
  • Review technical concepts, interface definitions, and implementation proposals to ensure robust and future-proof OBD behavior
  • Support validation strategy development by ensuring that system requirements are suitable for HIL, SIL, vehicle testing, and release verification
  • Analyze system-level issues found during integration and testing, identify requirements or architectural gaps, and drive cross-functional resolution
  • Coordinate and contribute into the prototype and serial development stage in terms of software availability, requirements maturity, data analysis, and technical reporting
  • Partner with concept and architecture teams to come up with solutions to engineering and functional challenges related to diagnostic systems in an SDV environment
  • Be involved in other related tasks / activities as required

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.

  • Relevant degree such as a bachelors or masters 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 systems engineering, diagnostics, powertrain controls, or electrified propulsion development, with strong exposure to Onboard Diagnostics (OBD)
  • Proven experience defining and managing system-level OBD concepts, including monitor strategies, fault detection, readiness behavior, diagnostic architecture, and compliance-relevant logic
  • Strong understanding of OBDII regulations, diagnostic system behavior, monitor enable conditions, DTC concepts, MIL behavior, and readiness requirements
  • Experience working in a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture, including cross-domain interaction between centralized and distributed software functions
  • Ability to define clear, structured, and testable system requirements and decompose them into domain-specific functional expectations
  • Hands-on experience with requirements and traceability tools such as Jama, DOORS, or Polarion
  • Familiarity with UDS diagnostics, diagnostic event handling, DTC structures, CAN/Ethernet communication, and ECU interaction concepts
  • Experience with engineering and analysis tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, and ETAS INCA
  • Ability to read and understand system architectures, software specifications, Simulink flow diagrams, and functional interface descriptions
  • Strong systems thinking mindset with the ability to manage complexity across multiple functions, interfaces, and vehicle states
  • Strong interpersonal skills including ownership, self-motivation, analytical problem solving, structured communication, and proven ability to work in a truly cross-functional and global environment
  • Motivated engineer wanting to work at the cutting edge of electric vehicle technical design and define robust diagnostic systems for next-generation BEV and EREV platforms
