Software Engineer, Perception (All levels)

Seattle, WA / Remote

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 perception experts to join our team to advance the state of off-road autonomy.

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

  • Identify, implement, and respond to meaningful metrics that affect vehicle behavior.
  • Support experimentation and integration of the perception stack with new sensors and configurations (C++).
  • Collaborate closely with experts across disciplines to work across the entire stack to improve the reliability and performance of the system.

Qualifications

  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or similar and 2+ years of experience (industry or academia) implementing perception algorithms
    • Preferred: top-tier publications in CV and Robotics conferences and/or past experience working with lidars and cameras
  • Expert in ROS 2 or other similar robotics middleware.
  • Strong programming (C++ or Python) skills and experience in 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. 
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a DOD Security Clearance.
