Specialist, Mechanical Engineer

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>Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck &amp; rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:</p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="none">Lead the design, development, and testing of mechanical systems and components, ensuring they meet project specifications and industry standards.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Conduct detailed engineering analysis, including stress, thermal, and fluid dynamics simulations using software tools like&nbsp;AutoCad&nbsp;,Catia, SolidWorks, or similar.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical, software, and manufacturing engineers, to integrate mechanical systems with other disciplines.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Create and review detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and documentation.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Manage project timelines, budgets, and resources to ensure successful project delivery.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Identify&nbsp;and implement design improvements to enhance performance, reliability, and manufacturability.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Mentor and guide junior engineers and support their professional development.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Conduct failure analysis and troubleshooting of existing systems,&nbsp;recommending,&nbsp;and implementing corrective actions.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Stay current with industry trends, technologies, and best practices, and apply them to projects as&nbsp;appropriate.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"134233117":true,"134233118":true,"201341983":0,"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0,"335559740":240}">&nbsp;</span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">safety protocols, including risk assessments, interlocks, and safety-rated software functions,&nbsp;to ensure&nbsp;the safe operation of robotic systems&nbsp;in accordance with&nbsp;regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
