Engineer, Ride Comfort Objectivation & Simulation

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.

But Scout is more than just a brand, it’s a legacy steeped in a culture of exploration, caretaking, and hard work. 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.

What You’Ll Do

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. , Adams, CarSim, or equivalent) to represent vehicle ride behavior (primary & secondary ride).

Correlate simulation results with physical test data to ensure alignment between virtual and real-world ride comfort performance. Support model tuning, validation, and parameter identification based on measurement data and simulation results. Enable frontloading of ride comfort development through predictive simulation and scenario studies.

Collaborate with simulation and CAE teams to continuously improve model fidelity and robustness. Vehicle ride comfort objectivation Own the end-to-end ride comfort objectivation process, from instrumentation concept through testing, analysis, and target definition. Define and implement vehicle instrumentation strategies for ride comfort measurement, including accelerometers, gyros, displacement sensors, seat rail sensors, steering inputs, and wheel force transducers.

Specify sensor layouts, orientations, sampling strategies, and validation methods to ensure high-quality, repeatable data. Plan and execute ride comfort testing campaigns at proving grounds using development vehicles, mules, and benchmark competitor vehicles. , cobblestones, rough roads, impacts, highway profiles) with strict control of boundary conditions and repeatability.

Lead data acquisition and validation activities, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and traceability of test data.
