Requirements
• ● Deep PLC / controls engineering experience (you can independently commission and debug automation lines) • ● 5+ years in controls / automation / field engineering in high-volume manufacturing environments • ● Hands-on expertise with industrial networks and protocols: • ○ EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, OPC UA (practical troubleshooting, not just theory) • ● Strong electrical debugging ability: • ○ multimeter + oscilloscope competence, reading schematics, signal conditioning, EMI/noise intuition • ● Strong understanding of sensors, triggering, and real-time sequencing on production lines • ● Mandarin fluency (native or near-native) • ● Working English for technical communication with global teams • TRAITS THAT MATTER (WE SCREEN HARD FOR THESE) • ● You move fast and stay methodical: hypothesis → test → isolate → fix → prevent recurrence • ● You’re highly ownership-driven: downtime is personal • ● You communicate clearly with both operators and engineers • ● You enjoy the field: travel, factories, and getting your hands dirty • Why Overview.ai http://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.
Benefits
• ● 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 coupling, cable quality, EMI, misconfigured QoS/VLANs (where applicable) • ● Work with PLC logic and machine sequencing to ensure correct system behavior: • ○ interpret and modify ladder logic / structured text (as needed) to stabilize integration and performance • ● Build repeatable integration standards: • ○ wiring patterns, sensor conditioning recommendations, network topologies, validated PLC templates, commissioning checklists • ELECTRICAL + SIGNAL INTEGRITY DEBUGGING (HANDS-ON) • ● Troubleshoot sensors, discrete I/O, and signal conditioning in real factory environments: • ○ NPN/PNP sensors, pull-ups/pull-downs, filtering/debounce, shielding/grounding, noise mitigation • ● Use multimeters and oscilloscopes to diagnose: • ○ voltage levels, signal bounce, timing alignment, interference, poor grounding, intermittent connections • ● Identify root cause quickly and implement robust fixes—not temporary patches. • FIELD LEADERSHIP + CUSTOMER TRUST • ● Be the senior technical point of contact on-site: calm, decisive, and structured under pressure. • ● Train customer automation engineers and technicians on best practices for operation and first-line troubleshooting. • ● Capture high-quality issue reports for HQ engineering: • ○ reproduction steps, logs, electrical measurements, network symptoms, PLC state, and recommended fixes • ● Drive feedback loops that result in real product improvements (tooling, diagnostics, reliability features).
