Lead Engineer - Automation Tooling

About this role

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p> <p>But Scout is more than just a brand, it’s a legacy steeped in a culture of exploration, caretaking, and hard work.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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!</p></div><h4>What you’ll do</h4> <p><em><span class="TextRun SCXW30132126 BCX0" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW30132126 BCX0">At&nbsp;</span><span class="NormalTextRun CommentStart CommentHighlightPipeRest CommentHighlightRest SCXW30132126 BCX0">Scout Motors</span><span class="NormalTextRun CommentHighlightPipeRest SCXW30132126 BCX0">, you&nbsp;</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW30132126 BCX0">don't</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW30132126 BCX0">&nbsp;just design vehicles- you shape the future of the road.
