## Job description

## About Overview

[Overview.ai](http://Overview.ai) is transforming manufacturing quality control with an advanced edge-enabled AI vision system that combines cutting-edge deep learning with ease of use and quick setup. Our system handles a wide array of inspection tasks—from subtle assembly verification to defect detection and orientation checks—delivering real-time, high-accuracy inspections that seamlessly integrate into existing production lines. Trusted by leading manufacturers like SpaceX, Tesla, Toyota, Ford, and Honda, our cameras enable faster throughput, reduced scrap, and lower inspection costs—without the complexity and expense of traditional vision systems. As our engineering organization continues to grow, we are seeking Engineering Managers to lead teams that build the core product platform. You will oversee execution of the technical roadmap for core products and manage the team to deliver world-class industrial AI products. This is a hands-on leadership role with high visibility and significant impact on the future of our products and engineering organization. To be effective in this role, you should have a strong technical background and be comfortable diving deeply into technical details and understanding complex systems, while effectively managing a team of engineers to drive towards goals.

## About the team

This team owns everything the customer sees and touches: from the frontend application that is the entire user interface of the product, to the backend business logic that runs the inspections behind it. The full stack of the user's experience, end to end. This team builds how an operator sets up an inspection, how a quality engineer reads the result, and how the interfaces work reliably in a 24/7 mission-critical manufacturing environment. Taipei is our product engineering hub and you will be working alongside embedded engineering teams and AI/ML teams.

## What you will own

The roadmap for your layer. Work with product and engineering leadership to turn company priorities into a sequenced plan your team can execute, and push back when the sequence does not hold up. Releases people can trust. Own the release process for your components: sprint cadence, branch and release structure, test gates in GitHub Actions, and the discipline that keeps a regression from reaching a customer's line. Performance and robustness as standing work. Memory behavior, startup time, long-run stability and graceful degradation. You will define what good looks like here and build the practices that hold it. The field loop. Talk to customers directly and turn what you learn into engineering priorities. You will triage them, protect your engineers' focus, and turn recurring field problems into product fixes. Hiring and growing the team. Set the hiring standard, run the interview loop, and develop the engineers on your team.

## Minimum qualifications

- Have led software engineering teams — hiring, coaching, performance management — on top of a strong record shipping product-oriented software
- Deep experience in one area of our stack, React, Python, Go, and fluent enough in the others to review work in both
- Care about reliability in a way that shows up in process rather than in principle, and have chased down the failure that only appears after days of continuous runtime.
- Have built release structure and sprint cadence rather than inherited someone else's.
- Have real instincts about interfaces, and can tell in review when a screen will confuse an operator standing on a factory floor.
- Want to work on physical AI, where the output of your software is a decision about a real part on a real line, right now.
- Work in Mandarin and English at a professional level

## Preferred qualifications

- Experience working on applications and software that runs on edge hardware
- Experience working with AI/ML pipelines

Logistics Location. Taipei Compensation. Competitive salary, equity and benefits. Work authorization. We sponsor work authorization in Taiwan, and support Employment Gold Card applications for candidates relocating here. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; there is no deadline.

## About Overview Corporation

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Overview Corporation builds AI-powered vision systems for automated defect detection and quality inspection in manufacturing.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Startup; Y Combinator W19 batch)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: Russell Nibbelink, Austin Appel, Xiaoyang Kao

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Industrial AI, Computer Vision, Manufacturing Quality Control, Industrial Automation
- Target customers: B2B – Enterprise manufacturers across automotive, pharmaceutical packaging, electronics, and general industrial sectors
- Mission or purpose statement: "Catch every manufacturing defect in the world"

## Products & Services
- **OVX Inspection Platform**: AI-based quality inspection platform that runs entirely on edge devices, using advanced data augmentation to reduce sample requirements by 10x and training models in under one hour with as few as five images.
- **OV10i AI Vision Sensor**: Compact, smart camera with on-device AI training and inference, local browser-based configuration, and a 3–6 month typical payback cycle.
- **OV20i AI Vision Sensor**: Mid-range AI vision sensor with 200K+ production images storage, on-device training, and connectivity through all major PLC protocols (EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, HTTP, RS232, Discrete I/O).
- **OV80i High Performance AI Vision System**: GPU-powered high-accuracy edge system (NVIDIA GPU in every unit) for the most demanding inspection tasks, using vision-transformer-based models.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total team of 50+ members, deployed across 30+ cities in 10 countries and 5 continents
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (Winter 2019 batch); founding team members include former Tesla manufacturing leaders; Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition for the three co-founders
- **Growth Signals**: Rapid global expansion with local teams across 30 cities in 10 countries; deployed in demanding factory environments (automotive connectors, pharmaceutical packaging); achieving 100% defect coverage with 50% reduction in inspection costs and 75% reduction in rework; 0% defect escape rate reported

## Competitive Advantages
- **100% Edge computing** – No cloud dependency, production data never leaves the factory floor, addressing critical security and latency requirements
- **Rapid deployment** – Models trained in under one hour with as few as five images; deploy production systems in hours, not months
- **Hardware + Software integration** – Smart cameras with embedded NVIDIA GPUs and pre-loaded AI software, eliminating need for external compute
- **Open platform** – Compatible with every major PLC protocol, enabling seamless integration into existing factory infrastructure
- **Founding team pedigree** – Deep domain expertise from scaling production and quality systems in demanding factories, including Tesla

## Strategic Focus
- Continue global expansion into new geographies and manufacturing verticals
- Deepen edge AI capabilities for real-time, continuous inference in harsh factory environments
- Shorten time-to-ROI for customers (current target: 3–6 months payback)
- Scale team globally with engineering, science, and field operations talent

## Why Work Here
- **Real-world impact**: Code runs on real production lines 24/7 catching real defects, with metrics tracked in defects caught and scrap reduction, not research benchmarks
- **End-to-end ownership**: Engineers own problems from customer scoping through factory deployment and ongoing monitoring – no product manager layer
- **Ship fast, ship often**: Startup tempo with manufacturing rigor; work hits production lines within weeks
- **Global, remote-friendly culture**: Distributed teams across San Francisco, Austin, Mexico City, São Paulo, Zurich, Taipei, Shanghai and more; work asynchronously across time zones
- **Competitive compensation**: Salary, equity, comprehensive health insurance, 401(k), and generous PTO
