Overview Corporation - Vision Engineer
Requirements
• ● Deep, hands-on machine vision experience with a heavy emphasis on lighting + optics (not just “camera setup”) • ● Track record solving difficult inspections in production environments (reflective/transparent, tight geometry, high speed, variable presentation) • ● Strong practical knowledge of the lighting and lens landscape: • ○ you understand the tradeoffs and failure modes, not just the catalog names • ● Ability to operate independently in factories and own outcomes • ● Mandarin fluency (native or near-native) • ● Working English for collaboration with global engineering/product teams • ● Strong communication skills: you can explain optical strategies clearly to customers and teammates • STRONG PREFERENCES • ● Experience building vision solutions across multiple industries (electronics, automotive, connectors, batteries, packaging, etc.) • ● Experience with advanced optical methods (telecentric, polarization, structured light, multi-angle, spectral techniques) • ● Comfort running field experiments quickly and methodically (hypothesis → test → iterate) • WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE • ● Customers trust you as the vision expert who can solve “impossible” inspections. • ● You consistently deliver stable, repeatable imaging configurations that make AI performance excellent. • ● You help win deals by out-thinking incumbents and demonstrating superior solutioning. • ● You turn one-off optical victories into reusable playbooks, reference setups, and standards. • 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.
Responsibilities
• ● Feed market intelligence back into product and go-to-market teams.
Benefits
• ● 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-to-end. • ● Win against incumbents: You’ll know the competitive landscape (Cognex, Keyence, HALCON, Hikvision, etc.) and use that knowledge to help us close deals and expand deployments. • ● Travel + variety: New lines, new parts, new weird optical phenomena—this role stays interesting. • WHAT YOU’LL OWN • 1) VISION STRATEGY: OPTICS + LIGHTING (CORE OF THE ROLE) • You will design and iterate the imaging solution that makes inspection reliable: • ● Select and tune lighting for challenging surfaces and geometries: • ○ bright field / dark field, coaxial, dome, diffuse, low-angle, structured light, line lights, spot/point, backlight, multisource setups • ○ polarization (cross/parallel), glare suppression, specular management • ○ strobed lighting vs continuous, high-speed exposure strategies, motion-freezing • ○ “2.5D” techniques: photometric-style approaches, multi-angle illumination, gradient/shape enhancement • ● Select and deploy lenses and optical elements: • ○ telecentric, macro, high-NA, long working distance, wide-angle vs narrow, Scheimpflug (tilt) where appropriate • ○ filters (bandpass, long-pass/short-pass), polarizers, diffusers, beam splitters • ○ mirrors/prisms for impossible mounting angles and constrained spaces • ● Push beyond visible light when needed: • ○ IR / NIR / SWIR (and other spectral strategies), multispectral approaches, fluorescence-style thinking where relevant • ● Diagnose and solve “weird” vision failure modes: • ○ reflectivity, transparency, subsurface features, moiré, aliasing, lens flare/ghosting, vibration blur, rolling shutter artifacts, shadowing/occlusion, contamination drift • The bar: you can often tease out a workable imaging approach just by looking at the part + environment, then validate it quickly in the field. • 2) PROJECT OWNERSHIP: DEPLOY, STABILIZE, SCALE • ● Own customer deployments end-to-end: planning, on-site execution, training, follow-through. • ● Drive fast iteration cycles: image capture → lighting/lens adjustments → validation → production-ready setup. • ● Train customer teams (process/quality/ops) on: • ○ daily operation, basic troubleshooting, re-validation after maintenance, and how to keep image quality stable. • ● Create clear documentation and “golden configs” that make future rollouts faster. • 3) COMPETITIVE EXPERTISE: HELP US WIN • ● Maintain a strong working knowledge of the machine vision ecosystem and competitor offerings: • ○ Cognex, Keyence, HALCON/MVTec, Hikrobot/Hikvision, and other common players. • ● Participate in pre-sales technical discovery and solutioning:
