System Integration Engineer

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.
