Manufacturing Engineer, New Product Introduction (NPI)

<p style="line-height: 1;">&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>About Overland AI</strong></p> <p>Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.overland.ai/">Overland AI</a>&nbsp;is transforming land operations for modern defense. The company leverages over a decade of advanced research in robotics and machine learning, as well as a field-test forward ethos, to deliver combined capabilities for unit commanders. Our OverDrive autonomy stack enables ground vehicles to navigate and operate off-road in any terrain without GPS or direct operator control. Our intuitive OverWatch C2 interface provides commanders with precise coordination capabilities essential for mission success.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Overland AI&nbsp;has secured funding from prominent defense tech investors, including 8VC and Point 72, and&nbsp;built trusted partnerships with DARPA, the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command. Backed by eight-figure contracts across the Department of Defense, we are strengthening national security by iterating closely with end users engaged in tactical operations.</p> <p><strong>Role Summary</strong></p> <p>Overland’s vehicle production team is seeking an NPI Manufacturing Engineer to help develop and launch our autonomous off-road vehicles. Your experience with Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) will play a critical role across the integration of mechanical and electrical subsystems.&nbsp;In this role, you will be the key link between design engineering and early production, with a focus on DFx (primarily integration and manufacturability). You’ll help develop integration workflows, first-pass test interfaces, and production-ready tools and systems.&nbsp;This is a deeply hands-on role for an engineer who thrives on the shop floor at the intersection of design, prototyping, and system-level problem solving for new products.</p> <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <ul> <li>Develop and refine manufacturing integration flows that decompose the Ultra vehicle platform into logical subassemblies and build sequences, ensuring efficient and repeatable builds.</li> <li>Maintain configuration control across a large multi-level BOM as the hardware configuration evolves.</li> <li>Collaborate with design engineering to drive design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-integration (DFI) feedback into new releases.</li> <li>Translate engineering intent into clear and concise build documentation (torque specs, harness routing, key inspections and tests).</li> <li>Drive continuous improvement across the build process, through hands-on understanding and feedback from the engineering technicians.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Minimum Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <li>Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.</li> <li>5+ years&nbsp;integrating complex&nbsp;electromechanical systems&nbsp;from prototype through production.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Preferred Qualifications</strong></p> <ul> <li>Proficiency with SolidWorks or similar CAD software.</li> <li>Proven expertise in&nbsp;multi-subsystem integration—combining mechanical, electrical, and data interfaces into one functioning hardware product.</li> <li>Experience implementing and optimizing a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) such as First Resonance ION.</li> <li>Excellent&nbsp;cross-functional communication&nbsp;skills across design, manufacturing, and technician teams.</li> <li>Experience creating or optimizing&nbsp;integration and assembly processes&nbsp;for large, complex systems.</li> <li>Hands-on, floor-oriented problem solver who thrives in fast-moving environments.</li> <li>Experience owning&nbsp;BOM structures, configuration management, and&nbsp;ECO (engineering change order)&nbsp;processes.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Benefits:</strong></p> <p>Overland AI believes in creating a work environment that you look forward to embracing every day.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>The salary range for this position is $80K to $110K annually&nbsp;</li> <li>Equity compensation&nbsp;</li> <li>Best-in-class healthcare, dental and vision plans&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>Unlimited PTO&nbsp;</li> <li>401k with company match&nbsp;</li> <li>Parental leave&nbsp;</li> </ul>
