Lead Engineer - Automation Tooling at Scoutmotors · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

At Scout Motors, you don't just design vehicles- you shape the future of the road. Our Engineering team is where bold ideas meet rigorous execution, building machines that are as durable and capable as the people who drive them. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with brilliant minds across disciplines, turning complex challenges into elegant, scalable solutions that meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and user experience. This is a place where your fingerprints are found on metal – where what you design gets built, driven, and remembered. If you're hungry to engineer something that matters, Scout Motors is where that ambition finds its highest gear.
We are seeking a highly skilled, hands-on Lead Engineer to lead the design, development, and scale-up of automation tooling for next-generation Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) platforms. This role focuses on CI/CD pipelines, automated test frameworks, validation infrastructure, and developer productivity tools across embedded automotive software ecosystems. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering skills with deep knowledge of automotive development workflows, embedded systems, and scalable automation approaches. This person will work across platform software, embedded systems, validation infrastructure, cloud tooling, and developer productivity systems to enable fast, reliable, and scalable software releases for vehicle programs.
Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:
Architect and develop scalable CI/CD systems for embedded and vehicle software platforms.
Build automation frameworks that support continuous integration, continuous testing, automated regression, release qualification, fleet validation, and OTA readiness.
Develop internal engineering tools that improve developer velocity and software quality across SDV programs.
Lead automation efforts for embedded Linux platforms, ECU software, vehicle middleware, platform APIs, and simulation environments.
Design infrastructure for distributed test execution across SIL/HIL benches, virtual ECUs, and cloud environments.
Build intelligent test orchestration systems that optimize execution time and resource utilization, including AI-driven use cases.
Integrate automated quality gates, including static analysis, security scanning, code coverage, performance validation, and reliability metrics.
Drive “shift-left” validation practices enabling developers to detect issues earlier in the development lifecycle.
Partner closely with firmware, platform, vehicle integration, validation, and cloud infrastructure teams.
