Software Engineer, Autonomy Integration and Deployment

Overland AI•Seattle, WA

78d•$140,000 - $300,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are looking for robotics experts to bring off-road autonomy in challenging terrain to a growing fleet of ground vehicles. In this role, you will deploy autonomy in the real world by integrating the OverDrive autonomy stack onto hardware platforms for delivery to customers. You will also contribute to the autonomy stack by identifying gaps in performance, proposing solutions, and implementing them in collaboration with other teams. You will work across the organization and with end-users to develop and deploy new behaviors, payloads integrations, and novel use-cases. Additionally, you will design and develop tools to efficiently deploy the OverDrive autonomy stack onto a suite of robotic vehicles, and lead field test campaigns to evaluate and/or demonstrate the OverDrive autonomy stack on real platforms in challenging off-road terrain. You will think broadly about overall system performance and interactions between various components present in an autonomous vehicle. You will also collaborate throughout Overland, bridging the gap between business development and core R&D teams to deliver effective autonomy to customers.

Requirements

Bachelors, M.S., or Ph.D. in computer science, robotics, or related field.
Experience working with robotics systems including familiarity with ROS and/or ROS 2.
Experience developing with C++ and Python in a Linux environment
Analytical thinking and scientific mindset: The ability to rapidly troubleshoot issues, design and carry out diagnostic experiments, and thoughtfully interpret experimental results
