Software Engineer, Platforms

Overland AI builds intelligent uncrewed ground systems for defense and national security. Our autonomy stack, OverDrive, is defining the state-of-the-art for perception, planning, and control of uncrewed vehicles, enabling them to traverse and operate in any terrain, regardless of roads, in any condition. OverDrive was purpose-built for the warfighter. Through our work with DARPA and the U.S. Army, we are developing the intelligent capabilities necessary to power modern ground operations, now and for decades to come. 

In a little over a year, the company has been selected for or awarded eight-figures of OTAs and other contracts across multiple services and DoD customers. We have raised over $10M in funding, led by a top multi-billion dollar AUM defense tech investor. 

We are looking for experts in embedded and Linux-based systems for robotics to develop and manage interfaces to sensors and actuation on aggressive off-road autonomous vehicles.

In this role, you will:

• Bring up new autonomy platforms from initial boot up to autonomy-ready.
• Build, configure, and deploy Linux systems for high performance autonomy.
• Develop and deploy drivers for sensors (cameras, LIDARs, etc.) and drive-by-wire systems on autonomous ground vehicles.

Qualifications

• Strong technical background: BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or similar with 4+ years industry experience.
• Extensive experience deploying software in a Linux environment, including familiarity with the Linux networking stack and a variety of Linux distributions.
• Experience working with robotic systems.
• Field-test forward: You are passionate about building systems that work in the real world: despite rain, snow, and mud.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOD Security Clearance. 
• Ability to relocate to Seattle, WA.

Nice to have

• Experience with data protocols such as RS 232, CAN, SPI, and I2C.
• Experience with drive-by-wire systems
• Deep technical expertise in sensors such as cameras and LIDARs.
• High-performance, low latency, and/or realtime C / C++ development.
• Experience building Linux kernels and tinkering with low level device drivers.
• Experience with safety critical software.
• Experience with time synchronization protocols such as NTP and PTP.
