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 Fabricator to help build and modify components for our autonomous off-road vehicles. You will fabricate precision structural and suspension components, execute critical welds, and integrate parts directly into vehicle platforms throughout prototype and early-production builds.
Working closely with engineering and production teams, you will help translate designs into field-ready hardware in a high-mix, low-volume production environment. This is a deeply hands-on role for someone who enjoys working on the shop floor at the intersection of skilled fabrication, prototyping, and vehicle-level problem solving.
Responsibilities
- Fabricate precision structural components, chassis elements, and suspension parts for autonomous ground vehicle platforms.
- Cut, shape, and form aluminum and steel sheet and tubing to exact tolerances.
- Execute structurally sound TIG and MIG welds on critical performance components.
- Interpret technical drawings and engineering designs to produce low-volume production parts and prototype assemblies.
- Test-fit, modify, and integrate fabricated parts into various vehicle platforms, collaborating with engineering to resolve fit and function issues.
- Inspect all welds and structural fabrications for safety, strength, and field readiness.
- Drive continuous improvement across fabrication processes through hands-on experience and feedback from the engineering and production teams.
Minimum Qualifications
- 1 to 5 years of professional fabrication experience.
- Advanced proficiency in TIG welding on aluminum and stainless steel, with knowledge of metal properties and filler selection.
Desired Experience & Qualifications
- Expert use of tube benders, notchers, bead rollers, finger and press brakes, and plasma cutters.
- Strong spatial reasoning with the ability to engineer fabrication solutions on the fly and adapt to process changes.
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and blueprints.
- Motorsports, competitive power sports, or defense vehicle fabrication experience.
- Basic proficiency with CAD software for part modeling or blueprint interpretation.
- Manual or CNC machining skills, including operation of mills, lathes, and laser cutters.
- Hands-on, floor-oriented problem solver who thrives in fast-moving environments.
- Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating across engineering and production teams.
