About the job
At Scout Motors, we are reviving the legacy of one of America's most legendary vehicles, originally launched in 1960. This vehicle paved the way for future generations of robust SUVs and trucks, and we are set to do it again.
More than a brand, Scout embodies a legacy rooted in exploration, stewardship, and hard work.
The Scout brand honors the past while embracing the future, electrifying a historic American nameplate that has been absent for some time, integrating cutting-edge technology, and infusing American innovation. We respect our communities by building a company that prioritizes its people and customers. Our vehicles are designed for versatility, thriving in both work and leisure environments, whether at a campsite, job site, or during weekday commutes. Our commitment to our customers is evident in our development of two powertrains that meet diverse needs: an all-electric option and the Harvester™ range extender powertrain, which includes a built-in gas-powered generator with an estimated 500 miles of combined range.
At Scout Motors, we empower our talented, diverse, and entrepreneurial teams to innovate. A Scout employee is a visionary leader who seeks new paths and shares insights gained along the way. We seek knowledgeable individuals who collaborate across departments to improve our products and processes, driven by an unparalleled passion for our mission.
