Full Job Description

ABOUT OVERVIEW.AI http://Overview.ai Overview.ai http://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). WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING - Real production ownership: You’re not “support.” You own uptime and line performance where it matters—on the factory floor. - Hard problems, high signal: Intermittent I/O, timing jitter, noisy signals, flaky networks, multi-trigger edge cases, cycle-time constraints—this is what you’ll solve. - High learning + high leverage: You’ll deepen elite controls skills while working alongside world-class AI, embedded, and firmware teams to ship permanent fixes into the product. - Talent density: You’ll be surrounded by fast, intense people who execute. Your work will be taken seriously and acted on quickly. - High travel, high autonomy: You’ll be trusted as the senior technical owner across multiple sites. WHAT YOU’LL OWN CONTROLS + LINE INTEGRATION (CORE OF THE JOB) - Integrate Overview.ai http://Overview.ai systems into automation lines and make them rock-solid. - Commission and troubleshoot PLC-to-device communication across common industrial protocols: - EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, OPC UA (and real-world variants) - Diagnose and eliminate timing and triggering issues: - double triggers, missed triggers, trigger bounce, incorrect edge detection, latency/jitter, inconsistent handshakes - Debug inconsistent network communication: - packet loss, unstable links, IP conflicts, switch configuration issues, grounding/noise coupl
