Job Description About Overland AI: Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Overland AI is powering ground operations for modern defense and national security adjacent industries. The company leverages over a decade of advanced research in robotics and machine learning, as well as a field-test forward ethos, to deliver unmatched capabilities for logistics, reconnaissance, counter UAS, communications extension, and more. Hazardous missions in austere and electronically denied environments demand that these capabilities are reliable and resilient. Overland AI's autonomy kit and OverDrive autonomy stack enable uncrewed ground vehicles to navigate off-road with no GPS, all without direct operator control, to significantly reduce the risk to human life. Overland AI is developing these capabilities and putting them into the hands of unit commanders today.
The U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) jointly awarded the company an $18.6 million contract to develop autonomy software for the Army's Ground Vehicle Autonomous Pathways program. Overland AI also supports a range of other programs in the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command. The company is also gaining traction in the private sector. Overland AI has secured funding from 8VC, Point72 Ventures, Shasta VC, Overmatch VC, Ascend VC, and others.
