Specialist, OBD Requirements Engineer IUMPR

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. 

Your engineering ingenuity, wonder & magic in ensuring robust diagnostic monitor performance will be instrumental in shaping the perception of Scout as a brand, as well as gaining peer admiration in the automotive industry. 

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

• →Define and maintain OBD requirements related to IUMPR performance, ensuring compliance with regulatory expectations for monitor execution frequency and completeness 
• →Develop requirements for monitor enable conditions, execution criteria, and denominator/numerator logic, ensuring robust behavior under real-world driving conditions 
• →Ensure that OBD monitors achieve sufficient in-use performance ratios across all relevant operating scenarios, including varying drive cycles, environmental conditions, and vehicle states 
• →Collaborate with system, calibration, and software teams to design monitor strategies that maximize execution frequency while maintaining technical correctness and robustness 
• →Identify and mitigate risks related to low monitor execution rates, including constraints from electrified powertrains, thermal limitations, or system dependencies 
• →Support the definition of drive cycles, validation approaches, and data evaluation methods to assess IUMPR performance during development and testing 
• →Analyze vehicle and HIL/test data to evaluate monitor performance, readiness behavior, and statistical coverage, and identify gaps or compliance risks 
• →Ensure alignment between monitor design, readiness requirements, and regulatory expectations, including consistency across diagnostic functions 
• →Support validation teams by defining acceptance criteria and test cases related to monitor execution and IUMPR compliance 
• →Ensure traceability of IUMPR-related requirements through system definition, implementation, and validation results 
• →Contribute to regulatory readiness by supporting technical documentation, reporting, and audit preparation related to OBD monitoring performance 
• →Coordinate activities across prototype and serial development phases, including test planning, data analysis, and release readiness assessments 
• →Partner with architecture and systems teams to ensure IUMPR strategies are scalable and compatible with SDV concepts, including OTA updates and evolving vehicle functionality 
• →Continuously improve monitor strategies, requirement quality, and validation methods to ensure best-in-class diagnostic performance 
• →Be involved in other related tasks / activities as required
