## Description

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 Vehicle Security & Functional Safety (FuSa) Integration and Test Engineer to lead validation, integration, and verification activities for next-generation Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) platforms. This role focuses on ensuring vehicle systems meet cybersecurity and functional safety requirements across ECU integration, middleware validation, network security, OTA workflows, and full vehicle testing. The engineer will work across embedded platforms, vehicle communication stacks, and validation infrastructure to ensure secure, safe, and production-ready software releases.

The ideal candidate has strong experience in automotive cybersecurity, ISO 26262, embedded systems validation, and vehicle integration environments like modern SDV organizations

Become part of an iconic brand that is set to revolutionize the electric pick-up truck & rugged SUV marketplace by achieving the following:

 * Integrate and validate vehicle cybersecurity mechanisms across distributed ECU architectures.
 * Perform security testing for secure boot, secure flashing, ECU authentication, secure diagnostics, vehicle communication security, OTA security validation
 * Validate implementation of cybersecurity controls aligned with ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155/R156, OEM cybersecurity requirements
 * Develop and execute penetration and vulnerability testing strategies for vehicle systems.
 * Support threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) activities.
 * Validate cryptographic services, key provisioning, certificate handling, and secure communication protocols.
 * Support integration and verification of functional safety requirements aligned with ISO 26262.
 * Validate safety-critical software and system behavior across ECU and vehicle-level integrations.
 * Execute and automate fault injection testing, safety mechanism validation, watchdog verification, diagnostic coverage analysis, fail-safe and fail-operational testing
 * Verify safety requirements traceability and test coverage.
 * Collaborate with system safety, platform, and software teams during safety validation activities.
 * Design and execute edge-case scenarios power loss during flashing, ignition/arbitration cycles mid-update and reliability with network interruptions (packet loss, latency spikes)
 * Validate recovery strategies, rollback behavior, ECU reprogramming resilience to ensure no-brick behavior for safety-critical ECUs
 * Design scalable regression test suites for consistent behavior across simulated and real-world environments across SIL, HIL and vehicle infrastructure
 * Analyze large-scale CAN/Ethernet logs for intermittent failures, cross-ECU timing mismatches, system-level integration issues

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.
