About The Position

Scout Motors is carrying forward the heritage of an iconic American vehicle dating back to 1960, aiming to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck and rugged SUV marketplace. The brand emphasizes respect for the past and future by electrifying, digitizing, and innovating an iconic American brand. It also focuses on respect for communities, its people, customers, and a balance of work and play, offering vehicles suitable for various environments. Scout Motors is developing two powertrains: an all-electric and the Harvester™ range extender powertrain with a built-in gas-powered generator for an estimated 500 miles of combined range. The company empowers talented, inclusive, and entrepreneurial teams to innovate, seeking visionaries, leaders, knowledgeable doers, and passionate go-getters. The EE/SW Integration Manager at the OEM level is responsible for the system-level and sub-system-level electrical and software integration strategy, execution, and release readiness across multiple vehicle programs. This role ensures that all electrical and software systems deliver the intended vehicle-level functional performance, focusing on feature behavior, timing performance, system robustness, drivability impact, and cross-domain interaction quality. The position also owns system-level validation and readiness for real-world conditions, including transient events, edge cases, environmental stress, and feature concurrency, working with MSTs, software engineers, systems engineers, validation teams, and suppliers.

Responsibilities

• Own L2 system + sub-system integration of all domain controllers and distributed ECUs into the vehicle E/E architecture.
• Own L2 Test infrastructure HW/SW builds, model builds to drive HIL, SIL, MIL implementation frameworks for automation toolchain, test and release.
• 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.
• Ensure feature-level integration synchronization, power mode management, Wake-up/sleep strategy robustness.
• Own system-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.
