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.

We are seeking a 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 , solving complex debugging challenges, and owning features end-to-end, we would love to speak with you!
