This role focuses on building, compiling, and assembling full vehicle software packages from distributed ECU software deliveries, calibration sets, configuration manifests, and system dependencies. You will ensure that every vehicle software release is correctly compiled into a consistent, traceable, and flashable vehicle image for lab-car, HIL/SIL, integration, and production environments. Lead will operate at the core of SDV release engineering-transforming distributed ECU artifacts into a complete, validated vehicle software package. Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following: * Own end-to-end vehicle software build and compilation pipelines for SDV platforms. * Compile complete vehicle software packages from secondary ECU binaries, calibration artifacts and parameter sets, configuration manifests and feature flags, gateway and central compute software, diagnostics and service packages * Generate fully integrated, flashable vehicle images for different vehicle variants and configurations. * Ensure deterministic and reproducible vehicle builds across programs and hardware versions. * Ensure correct bundling of ECU software, calibration data, and configuration definitions into unified vehicle releases. * Manage packaging formats form vehicle flash images, OTA packages, lab-car and HIL/SIL deployment bundles * Ensure package integrity, version consistency, and compatibility validation across components and support multi-variant packaging strategies across SDV platforms. * Execute vehicle builds using manifest-driven compilation systems defining ECU inclusion and version mapping. * Ensure manifests correctly resolve ECU software versions, calibration alignment, hardware dependencies, feature configuration rules * Integrate vehicle build and compilation systems into CI/CD pipelines to automate triggering of vehicle builds from ECU delivery pipelines. * Implement build validation gates for compilation success, artifact completeness, ECU compatibility * Ensure vehicle software package consistency across multi-node distributed systems. * Manage generation of ECU firmware binaries, bootloaders and application images, calibration datasets and parameter files, variant configuration artifacts, diagnostic and service packages * Own artifact lifecycle management including storage, versioning, access control, and retention policies. * Maintain full traceability across: Source Code Build Binary Calibration Set Flash Package Vehicle Deployment * Manage artifact repositories (e.g., Artifactory, Nexus, cloud-native storage systems). * Enforce artifact integrity through hashing and checksum validation, digital signing and encryption, provenance and lineage tracking * Leadership Competencies + Strong system-level thinking, technical arbitration capability + Structured problem solving + Program milestone ownership, ability to operate in high-pressure launch environments Location & Travel Expectations: * This role may be based out of the Scout Motors corporate headquarters in Charlotte, NC. * This role requires 4-5 days per week in the office, with regular in-person meetings and events. * Applicants should expect that the role will require the ability to convene with Scout colleagues in person and travel to participate in events on behalf of the company from time to time.. ## Related Videos - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Give your build some love, it will give it back!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/514-give-your-build-some-love-it-will-give-it-back) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) - [AI-Native Enterprise Platforms: Interpreting Logic, Not Compiling Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1975-ai-native-enterprise-platforms-interpreting-logic-not-compiling-code) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard)
