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 AI is building autonomous ground vehicles that navigate the world's hardest terrain without GPS, roads, or prior maps. Our OverDrive autonomy stack is already operating under contract with DARPA, the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command, and the problems we're solving don't have textbook answers yet.

We're looking for machine learning experts who want to work on perception, planning, and prediction in environments where the rules of the road literally don't exist.

Experienced, well-qualified remote candidates able to work during Pacific Time Zone business hours will be considered.

In this role, you will:

Design, prototype, and deploy machine learning algorithms related to perception, state estimation, and behavior planning (Python).
Identify, implement, and respond to meaningful metrics that affect vehicle behavior.
Serve as a technical expert for the team balancing short-term deliverables and long-term directions.
Collaborate closely with experts across disciplines to work across the entire stack to improve the reliability and performance of the system.

Qualifications

MS/PhD with publications in top-tier ML/CV venues (ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV), OR equivalent years of industry experience in an applied research setting working on multi-year problems.
Expert in a relevant ML topic such as sequential prediction, structured prediction, inverse reinforcement learning, transformers, deep learning optimization, etc.
Excellent linear algebra, probability theory, and optimization knowledge.
Extensive experience in Python and a deep learning framework such as Pytorch, JAX, Tensorflow, etc.
You excel in a small-team atmosphere, taking ownership of problems and working with your colleagues to solve problems across disciplines.

Benefits

Overland AI believes in creating a work environment that you look forward to embracing every day.
