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.
Role Summary Overland’s vehicle production team is seeking a Lead NPI Manufacturing Engineer to help develop and launch our autonomous off-road vehicles. Your experience with Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) will play a critical role across the integration of mechanical and electrical subsystems. In this role, you will be the key link between design engineering and early production, with a focus on DFx (primarily integration and manufacturability). You’ll help develop integration workflows, first-pass test interfaces, and production-ready tools and systems. This is a deeply hands-on role for an engineer who thrives on the shop floor at the intersection of design, prototyping, and system-level problem solving for new products.
