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.

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,...
Specify integration requirements and best practices:
mounting interfaces,...
Anticipate long-term failure modes and design them out:
loosening fasteners,...
Own commissioning readiness: ensure mechanical design supports stable triggering...

Field applications engineering (production outcomes)

Support new line deployments...
Diagnose issues...
