Sr. Specialist – Secondary ECU CICD Releases & Builds

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 Senior Engineer to own CI/CD, Build Artifacts & Binary Release Engineering for Secondary ECUs to design, implement, and operate end-to-end software build and release systems for next-generation Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures. This role focuses on binary generation, artifact management, build reproducibility, and CI/CD validation pipelines for distributed secondary ECUs across automotive domains such as body, energy, drive support systems, infotainment, connectivity, and gateways. You will own the integrity, traceability, and automation of ECU software delivery—from source code to signed production-ready binaries—across lab-car, HIL/SIL, integration vehicles, and production environments. This role will Q-gate, release secondary ECU artefacts per HPC compute and platform requirements directly shaping the reliability, scalability, and performance of the entire vehicle platform. Role is the backbone of software delivery for vehicle platforms ensuring ECU SW packages are reliably built, traceable, configurable, and deployable at scale enabling faster iteration, safer releases, and seamless integration across complex EV systems. 

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

• →Design and maintain scalable build systems for secondary ECU software, ensuring deterministic and reproducible binary outputs.  
• →Own end-to-end binary generation pipelines, including compilation, linking, packaging, and versioning for embedded ECUs.  
• →Manage build configurations across multiple ECU variants, hardware revisions, and vehicle programs.  
• →Ensure correct generation of firmware images, bootloaders, application binaries, calibration files, and configuration artifacts.  
• →Optimize build performance, parallelization, caching strategies, and distributed build execution.  
• →Own artifact lifecycle management including storage, versioning, traceability, and retention policies.  
• →Manage software artifacts such as ECU firmware binaries, signed release packages, calibration datasets, configuration manifests, dependency graphs etc. 
• →Implement strict traceability between source code → build → artifact → vehicle release. 
• →Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions  
• →Implement pipelines for cross-compilation of embedded software, static analysis and validation checks with automated test execution (unit, integration, HIL where applicable)  
• →Enable reproducible builds with traceability from commit → artifact → vehicle 
• →Ensure secure and reliable delivery of artifacts to integration, vehicle builds, OTA systems and manufacturing pipelines 
• →Develop tooling to generate custom ECU builds (feature flags, configuration variants, debug/release modes) and vehicle-level software packages (multi-ECU bundles) for on-demand builds for specific test or vehicle configurations 
• →Coordinate release schedules and resolve integration issues
