Overview
About this role
Overland AI is looking for a field-forward Hardware Engineer to deploy, operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and train end-users on autonomous ground-vehicle platforms in real operational environments. This role is for someone who is most comfortable hands-on with vehicles, thrives in the field, and knows how to keep machines running when conditions are far from ideal.
This is not a desk job. You will spend significant time deployed at test sites, customer locations, and operational events, working directly on vehicles, diagnosing issues, making repairs, and ensuring systems are mission-ready. Responsibilities span deploying and field-testing systems, hands-on troubleshooting/repair of vehicle electronics, sensors, wiring, power, networking, and mechanical interfaces — plus contributing to hardware/software integration, documenting field performance, and training end users.
Requirements: Bachelor’s in engineering (or 5–8 years equivalent experience) and ability to obtain a U.S. DoD security clearance. Desired: experience with uncrewed systems, ROS/CAN/drive-by-wire, LIDAR/cameras, and willingness to co-locate at test sites (CONUS and OCONUS). Frequent travel (>50%) expected.
The salary range for this position is $120K to $150K annually.
