Systems Integration Engineer

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, 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 ● 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 recruit for roles that touch the most advanced customers and factories in the world.
