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.\nOverland 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.\nRole Summary\nWe are looking for a field-forward infrastructure engineer to help deploy,configure,operateand iterate on autonomous ground-vehicle support systemsacross real operational environments - military exercises, customer demonstrations, testsitesand integration events.This role spans infrastructure,software delivery,networking, andautomation.\nThis is not a desk-only role.
