## Job description

## About the Company

[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 Ford, Honda, Toyota, SpaceX, Milliken, and Flex-N-Gate, 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 adding an additional Software Engineering Manager to help lead and develop a sub-section of the broader engineering organization. This role is designed to complement our existing engineering management structure and will work closely with the current engineering leadership team to ensure effective team management, execution, and continued organizational growth. We are seeking a Software Engineering Lead/Engineering Manager to lead and grow a team of engineers, while coordinating closely with teams in Brazil and the US. You will oversee execution of the technical roadmap for current and future products, manage and develop a team of remote and hybrid engineers, and work seamlessly across time zones 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, even when you are not directly implementing the work yourself.

## Responsibilities

Roadmap Execution Work with leadership to prioritize and manage the technical feature roadmap for both current and next-generation AI vision products.

## Team Leadership

Lead, motivate, develop, and manage a team of remote and hybrid engineers, including cross-site collaboration with Brazil and remote-based teams. Release & Process Management Set up and maintain release structures, manage sprints, and track performance to ensure predictable, high-quality deliveries.

## Requirements & Communication

Define requirements, set context and priorities, and report progress to leadership and the engineering organization. Cross-Time-Zone Collaboration Work seamlessly across multiple time zones (Brazil, Taiwan, US West Coast). Travel Periodically travel to support team members and/or work with customers. Culture & Performance Align very bright, high-performing individuals in a fast-paced startup environment, fostering a culture of excellence and ownership.

## 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
