About Overview.ai

Overview.ai is bringing the cutting edge of AI computer vision to manufacturing—solving inspection problems that were previously not solvable with traditional machine vision. We’re a full-stack company: we deploy GPU-powered cameras on production lines, run inference on the edge, and operate a platform that supports large fleets of devices deployed across the world.

We’re growing extremely fast. Our customers love the product because it works—high accuracy, fast deployment, and an operator-friendly experience that makes real factory rollouts possible (not just pilots).

This role is for a mechanically strong systems integrator: someone who can look at a machine design and immediately see what will work, what will fail, and what will create headaches six months later. You will own the mechanical integration of our camera + lens + lighting into automation machines, review CAD, guide machine builders, and ensure deployments are robust, serviceable, and scalable.

You are still an Overview.ai applications engineer—meaning you’ll be on-site, you’ll solve real production problems, and you’ll make sure the system delivers value every day.

Why this role is exciting

• You influence real machine design: You’re not “installing hardware.” You’re shaping how machines are built so AI inspection works reliably for years.
  

• High leverage engineering: A great integration decision can prevent months of field issues—vibration, misalignment, access problems, cable failures, contamination, poor serviceability.
  

• Work at the frontier: Integrating edge AI cameras into high-speed automation is still new. You’ll help set the standard.
  

• Talent density + fast feedback loops: You’ll work with world-class AI, embedded, firmware, and product teams—and your field learnings directly change the product and deployment playbooks.
  

• High travel + high autonomy: You’ll be trusted to represent Overview.ai at customer sites and with machine builders. This role will require approximately 50% travel across Taiwan for customer and factory deployments, with occasional travel across APAC based on business needs.
  

What you’ll own

Mechanical integration

• Own the mechanical integration of camera + lens + lighting into customer automation machines:

  • mounting design, stability, alignment, adjustability, service access, environmental protection, cable routing/strain relief
    

• Review machine builder CAD (2D/3D) and sign off on designs that meet Overview.ai integration standards.
  

• Provide direct, practical feedback to machine builders to improve designs before metal is cut:
  

  • reduce vibration sensitivity, protect optics, ensure repeatable alignment, avoid thermal drift, improve maintainability
    

• Specify integration requirements and best practices:
  

  • mounting interfaces, bracket designs, tolerances, datum strategy, access clearances, protective enclosures, contamination management
    

• Anticipate long-term failure modes and design them out:
  

  • loosening fasteners, wear points, cable fatigue, lens contamination, shock/vibration, misalignment, fixture flex
    

• Own commissioning readiness: ensure mechanical design supports stable triggering, repeatable imaging, and rapid service.
  

Field applications engineering (production outcomes)

• Support new line deployments and maintain/optimize systems already installed at customer sites.
  

• Diagnose issues that look “AI” but are actually mechanical/system integration problems:
  

  • intermittent image quality, drift over time, vibration blur, occlusion, part presentation variability, contamination
    

• Train customer teams and machine builders on integration best practices and basic troubleshooting.
  

• Document field learnings and turn them into repeatable standards, checklists, and reference designs.
  

Who you are Required

• Strong mechanical/systems integration background in automation equipment or industrial machines
  

• Ability to read and review machine design CAD and provide actionable design feedback (SolidWorks/Creo/AutoCAD or similar)
  

• Experience integrating components into machines with attention to:

  • tolerances, alignment, vibration, serviceability, cabling, environmental protection, repeatability
    

• Comfort in factory environments: commissioning, troubleshooting, and working hands-on

• Willingness and ability to travel across Taiwan approximately 50% of the time, with occasional travel across APAC based on business needs.
  

• Mandarin fluency (native or near-native)
  

• Working English for technical collaboration with global teams
  

• High ownership mindset: you take problems personally and drive them to closure
  

Strong preferences

• Experience with high-volume manufacturing lines (electronics, automotive, connectors, battery, packaging, assembly)
  

• Experience working with machine builders/integrators and managing design iteration loops

• Comfort partnering with controls engineers on timing/triggering and line sequencing constraints
  

Why Overview.ai (why top candidates join)

• Extreme growth + real-world impact: We’re not building demos. We’re deploying AI systems on real production lines, at scale.

• Talent density: You’ll work with world-class engineers and operators across AI, embedded systems, and enterprise deployment.

• Front-row seat to the AI manufacturing wave: This is one of the biggest transformations happening in industry right now.

• Ownership: In this role, your work directly changes the trajectory of the company. Great hiring = winning.

• Global exposure: You’ll work with advanced customers and factories across Taiwan and the broader APAC region.
