Overview.ai is transforming manufacturing quality control with an advanced edge-enabled AI vision system combining deep learning with ease of use and quick setup. The system handles inspection tasks from assembly verification to defect detection and orientation checks, delivering real-time, high-accuracy inspections that integrate into existing production lines. Trusted by leading manufacturers including Ford, Honda, Toyota, SpaceX, Milliken, and Flex-N-Gate, the platform enables faster throughput, reduced scrap, and lower inspection costs without the complexity of traditional vision systems.
As the engineering organization grows, Overview is adding a Software Engineering Manager to lead and develop a sub-section of the broader engineering organization, working closely with existing engineering leadership. This is a hands-on leadership role with high visibility and significant impact on product and organizational future.
In this role, you will 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. Key responsibilities include: working with leadership to prioritize and manage the technical feature roadmap for both current and next-generation AI vision products; leading, motivating, developing, and managing a team of remote and hybrid engineers including cross-site collaboration with Brazil and remote-based teams; setting up and maintaining release structures, managing sprints, and tracking performance to ensure predictable, high-quality deliveries; defining requirements, setting context and priorities, and reporting progress to leadership and the engineering organization; working seamlessly across multiple time zones (Brazil, Taiwan, US West Coast); periodically traveling to support team members and/or work with customers; and aligning very bright, high-performing individuals in a fast-paced startup environment while fostering a culture of excellence and ownership.
