About the role

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.

What they're looking for

  • 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
  • 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
More about this role

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.

  • 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...
