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). THE MISSION Overview.ai http://Overview.ai is building the most powerful edge AI vision platform for manufacturing—deployed on real production lines, not in lab demos. Our AI is only as good as the images we feed it. That’s why this role exists. We’re hiring a top-tier Vision Applications Engineer in China—someone who can walk up to a difficult 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
