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.
Overland AI is hiring a Project Manager to drive engineering execution and technical follow-through within the Systems, Safety, and Test (SST) organization.
This role is responsible for keeping engineering efforts moving. You will run technical working sessions and integration meetings, capture decisions, track action items, and ensure cross-team technical work progresses to completion. When details risk slipping or coordination breaks down, you step in to restore clarity and momentum — enabling senior engineers and systems leaders to stay focused on solving complex technical problems.
Working alongside software, hardware, production, safety, and test teams, you coordinate day-to-day handoffs and execution across disciplines. Embedded within systems and test, you operate close to the technical work, unblocking issues, maintaining alignment, and ensuring commitments are translated into outcomes.
Your work will closely support Program Managers & Leadership by providing clear, timely engineering execution updates that support broader planning and delivery, while your focus remains on strengthening the internal engineering engine. As Overland AI scales, this role plays a critical part in sustaining execution discipline across increasingly complex systems.
