Overview AI

Overview.ai designs and develops industrial inspection systems powered by deep learning and AI vision transformers. Their core product, the OV20i AI Vision System, offers high accuracy for non-obvious defects, boasting ease of use comparable to a vision sensor with the power of a full vision system. It features an integrated NVIDIA GPU for on-device training and complex algorithm execution without programming. The system emphasizes faster time-to-value, reliability in complex environments, and the ability to handle multiple inspections simultaneously. Overview's 'Snap' platform is a software-first approach that integrates with existing factory lines and is compatible with standard cameras and production software, designed to catch manufacturing errors missed by humans or traditional systems, improving efficiency, reducing downtime, and lowering quality costs. The company was founded by former Tesla employees inspired by the need for better data capture and analysis in manufacturing.

Trusted by leading manufacturers like Ford, Honda, Toyota, SpaceX, Milliken, and Flex-N-Gate, our cameras enables faster throughput, reduced scrap, and lower inspection costs—without the complexity and expense of traditional vision systems.

About The Role We are seeking a Staff Embedded Systems Software Engineer with strong Embedded Linux experience to join our engineering team. You will design, build, and maintain the software that powers our NVIDIA Jetson–based edge AI cameras — including Python application code, system services, OTA update mechanisms, networking, and device reliability.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on Linux systems and product software running on resource-constrained devices. You will not be working on MCU firmware or low-level hardware bring-up. Instead, you’ll operate across the OS and application stack to ensure our camera systems are robust, secure, and easy to deploy at scale.

If you enjoy building software for real hardware , solving complex debugging challenges, and owning features end-to-end, we would love to speak with you.

What You’ll Do

Develop and maintain system-level and application-level software for reliability in the field for our edge AI devices
Implement and own OTA for our deployed device fleet
Write Python application code for device control, edge logic, monitoring, and data flows
Work with C/C++ components for performance-critical functionality
Debug Linux systems involving multiple services, containers, and custom applications
Tune performance across the stack: kernel, services, containers, and user applications
Use Docker containers for packaging and deploying edge software components
Collaborate with hardware vendors to diagnose and resolve system-level issues
Work with backend/API teams to maintain reliable device–server communication
Mentor the team through code review, coaching, and general feedback

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
8-10+ years of experience in Linux-based embedded systems or systems software
Solid C++ skills in a Linux environment and/or Python development experience
Experience with SBC or Embedded Linux platforms
Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, TLS/HTTPS, certificates)
Experience debugging Linux applications and services (systemd, logs, containers)
Experience with Docker containerization
Strong problem-solving skills and independent ownership mindset
Clear communication and collaboration skills

Experience implementing OTA systems or device-update workflows
NodeRED, Flask, or REST API development
Industrial automation background (PLC ladder logic, Structured Text)
Industrial protocols: EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, RS232, RS485, CANbus
Experience with OpenCV, GStreamer, or real-time video processing
Experience with FTP/SFTP/SMB, NTP synchronization, or device-to-server messaging
Experience with fleet management of edge devices

Build core systems that directly impact real-world manufacturing
High ownership and autonomy
Work closely with hardware, AI, and customer-facing teams
Join a fast growing, fast moving and profitable startup
