Role Summary We are seeking a Software Engineer - Mission Autonomy to build software that enables a single operator to achieve their mission objectives by coordinating multiple autonomous platforms. As a member of the Mission Autonomy team, you will develop mission-level intelligence that supports the operator and complements platform-level (vehicle) intelligence - translating high-level operator intent into coordinated, adaptable behaviors across the team of assets.
The ideal candidate has a strong robotics software background with experience in planning and multi-robot coordination, thrives on rapidly integrating new platforms and technologies, and is excited to push the boundaries of what's useful with autonomy - transforming our best-in-class ground autonomy into an end-to-end mission capability solution.
In this role, you will - Develop AI-powered orchestration functionality that enhances multi-robot execution.
- Leverage Overland AI's deep expertise in offroad navigation to create terrain-aware mission planning capabilities.
- Design interfaces to pass task and status information between centralized mission software and individual assets.
- Integrate new vehicle types (both OAI-developed and 3rd party) into the Mission Autonomy framework.
- Rapidly prototype software solutions to deliver to users for immediate feedback, using learnings to inform longer-term development.
Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or related discipline.
- 2+ years of experience as a software engineer for an autonomous robotics company.
- 2+ years of experience developing in Python in a Linux development environment.
- Experience in either planning, mapping, or perception
- Desired Experience & Qualifications:
- Demonstrated work using terrain or mapping data to plan routes for autonomous vehicles.
- Experience developing and using simulation tooling.
- Working knowledge of robotics interface software such as ROS 2, MAVLink and
- Experience with common military messaging protocols such as Cursor on Target (CoT) and TAK.
- Experience working with robotic decision-making frameworks ranging from classical (behavior trees) to state-of-the-art (LLM-based).
- Self-starter who is excited to define the art of possible in a rapidly evolving field.
Benefits- Overland AI believes in creating a work environment that you look forward to embracing every day.
