Job Description
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. And respect for our
customers by developing two powertrains that meet their requirements — an
all-electric powertrain as well as 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, inclusive, and entrepreneurial teams
to innovate. What makes a Scout employee? Someone who is a visionary and a
leader, who seeks new paths and shares lessons learned. A knowledgeable doer who
collaborates across the company to build better. A go-getter with unrivaled
passion.
Join us at Scout Motors and be part of shaping the future of transportation. If
you're ready to drive change and make history, apply now!
