About Overland AI 

Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Overland AI is transforming land operations for modern defense. The company leverages over a decade of advanced research in robotics and machine learning, as well as a field-test forward ethos, to deliver combined capabilities for unit commanders. Our OverDrive autonomy stack enables ground vehicles to navigate and operate off-road in any terrain without GPS or direct operator control. Our intuitive OverWatch C2 interface provides commanders with precise coordination capabilities essential for mission success.  

Overland AI has secured funding from prominent defense tech investors including 8VC and Point 72, and built trusted partnerships with DARPA, the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command. Backed by eight-figure contracts across the Department of Defense, we are strengthening national security by iterating closely with end users engaged in tactical operations.

• Excellent documentation, communication, and collaboration skills

Desired Experience and Qualifications

• Familiarity with experiment tracking, ML infrastructure, or data visualization tooling
• Experience integrating hardware or embedded systems
• Experience deploying or supporting wireless/WAN infrastructure in field, test, or event environments
• Familiarity with ML/AI infrastructure, high-performance compute clusters, or robotics-focused environments

Other Requirements

• Ability to travel in-state, including occasional long days during deployments or testing
• Ability to travel out-of-state for ~1–2 weeks per year
• Ability to work onsite in our Seattle office at least 3 days per week
