Role Description: Vision Engineer in China (Remote Allowed)

Overview.ai is hiring a top-tier Vision Applications Engineer in China—someone who can walk up to a nasty inspection problem (reflective metal, transparent plastic, motion blur, awkward geometry, cramped mounting, unstable presentation) and immediately start forming a lighting + optics strategy that makes the problem solvable. You’ll be the person customers remember: the one who makes “impossible” inspections suddenly look obvious. This role is vision-first. You don’t need to be a controls engineer. You do need to be an exceptional optical/lighting problem solver who can also own field execution: customer communication, on-site deployments, training, and project delivery.

Why this role is exciting:

Solve the hardest vision problems in the world: The customers we work with bring problems that break traditional machine vision. You’ll be in the deep end. Work with cutting-edge AI + real factories: You’ll turn great imaging into great AI outcomes—and see the impact immediately on yield and downtime. High autonomy, high trust: You’ll be the expert in the room, leading technical strategy and owning outcomes end-to-end. Win against incumbents: You’ll know the competitive landscape (Cognex, Keyence, HALCON/MVTec/Hikrobot/Hikvision) and use that knowledge to help us close deals and expand deployments. Travel + variety: New lines, new parts, new weird optical phenomena—this role stays interesting.

What you’ll own:

Vision strategy: optics + lighting (core of the role)

You will design and iterate the imaging solution that makes inspection reliable: ● Select and tune lighting for challenging surfaces and geometries: ○ bright field / dark field, coaxial, dome,...
