Full Job Description
Role Summary:

Overland's vehicle production team is seeking an NPI Manufacturing Engineer to help develop and launch our autonomous off-road vehicles. You will apply Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) experience to support the integration of mechanical and electrical subsystems throughout prototype and early-production builds.

Working closely with design engineering and production teams, you will help translate new designs into practical, repeatable build processes, with a focus on design for integration and manufacturability. You'll contribute to integration workflows, first-pass test interfaces, and production-ready tools and systems.

This is a deeply hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys working on the shop floor at the intersection of design, prototyping, and system-level problem solving for new products.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and refine manufacturing integration flows that decompose the Ultra vehicle platform into logical subassemblies and build sequences, ensuring efficient and repeatable builds.
  • Maintain configuration control across a large multi-level BOM as the hardware configuration evolves.
  • Collaborate with design engineering to drive design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-integration (DFI) feedback into new releases.
  • Translate engineering intent into clear and concise build documentation (torque specs, harness routing, key inspections and tests).
  • Drive continuous improvement across the build process, through hands-on understanding and feedback from the engineering technicians.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years integrating complex electromechanical systems from prototype through production.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks or similar CAD software.

Desired Experience & Qualifications:

  • Proven expertise in multi-subsystem integration-combining mechanical, electrical, and data interfaces into one functioning hardware product.
  • Experience implementing and optimizing a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) such as First Resonance ION.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication skills across design, manufacturing, and technician teams.
  • Experience creating or optimizing integration and assembly processes for large, complex systems.
  • Hands-on, floor-oriented problem solver who thrives in fast-moving environments.
  • Experience owning BOM structures, configuration management, and ECO (engineering change order) processes.

Location:

This position is located onsite in Seattle, WA.

Benefits:

Pay range:

Manufacturing Engineer I: $110,000 - $135,000 annually

Manufacturing Engineer II: $125,000 - $155,000 annually

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