Software Engineer - Machine Learning (All Levels)

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.

What You'll Do

• 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.

Desired Experience & 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.

Location

• The preferred location for this position is Seattle, WA.
• Experienced, well-qualified remote candidates able to work during Pacific Time Zone business hours will be considered.

Pay Range

$150,000 - $300,000 annually

Actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

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