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.
Join us at Scout Motors and be part of shaping the future of transportation. If you're ready to drive change and make history, apply now!
What you’ll do
As a Main System Engineer, Body Systems – Exteriors & Interiors, you will serve as the operational and technical integration extension of the Main System Lead (MSL), supporting the successful development and delivery of the Body Systems portfolio.
This position is responsible for driving cross-functional alignment, readiness, transparency, and issue resolution across multiple System Engineering Teams (SETs) within the Exteriors and Interiors domain. The Main System Engineer works closely with SET Leaders, Technical Program Leaders (TPLs), Product, Purchasing, Manufacturing, Finance, Quality, and Logistics teams to ensure technical content, program milestones, sourcing activities, risks, and deliverables are mature and aligned prior to leadership reviews and decision-making forums.
Unlike a SET Leader, this role does not own an individual subsystem scope. Instead, the Main System Engineer ensures SET deliverables are integrated, aligned, decision-ready, and supportive of overall Body System objectives.
The Exteriors & Interiors Main System Engineer supports integration and delivery activities across:
- Exterior Trim
- Fascias and Bumpers
- Lighting Systems
