Job description
**About**[****](http://Overview.ai)
[](http://Overview.ai) is one of the fastest growing US startups in the AI space.[](http://Overview.ai) is bringing the cutting edge of AI computer vision to manufacturing - solving inspection problems that were previously not solvable with traditional machine vision. We’re a full-stack company: we deploy GPU-powered cameras on production lines, run inference on the edge, and operate a platform that supports large fleets of devices deployed across the world.
We’re growing extremely fast. Our customers love the product because it works - high accuracy, fast deployment, and an operator-friendly experience that makes real factory rollouts possible (not just pilots).
**Why this role is different**
Our demand is exploding in the possible way, and you will help deliver that value to customers and help us grow even more.
You’ll lead a team of applications engineers (vision, controls, mechanical) and technicians to deliver end-to-end deployments - **from “PO signed” to “system stable in production” to “human inspectors removed.”** This is the role where execution becomes revenue, and revenue becomes the next wave of growth.
If you’ve thrived in high-tempo manufacturing environments, you’ll recognize the pace - and you’ll enjoy the satisfaction of building a world-class deployment engine instead of getting buried by firefighting.
**What you’ll own**
**1) Deployment outcomes at scale**
- Own the delivery of deployments across multiple factories and lines: schedule, staffing, readiness, execution, stabilization.
- Drive deployments to the finish line: stable inspections, acceptance criteria met, and clear handoff to customer operations.
- Build repeatable playbooks that reduce time-to-production and increase customer self-sufficiency.
**2) Team leadership (hire, train, operate)**
- Lead a high-performance field team: applications engineers + technicians across regions.
- Set standards for execution: daily/weekly cadence, escalation paths, documentation, and quality bars.
- Coach your team to be fast, calm, and effective under pressure - especially when production is on the line.
**3) Customer leadership (scope, expectations, urgency)**
- Be the on-the-ground leader with customer stakeholders: process, quality, automation, and factory management.
- Manage scope ruthlessly but professionally: protect outcomes, prevent scope creep, and keep the project moving.
- Drive urgency: align customer resources, line access, sample parts, and decision-making so deployments don’t stall.
**4) Process and systems building**
- Participate in the creation the operational infrastructure that makes deployment scale: onboarding + training frameworks, checklists, commissioning templates, project dashboards, post-mortems, and continuous improvement loops
- Track what matters: deployment cycle time, blockers, time-to-stability, acceptance rate, expansion readiness.
**5) Product feedback that changes the roadmap**
- Translate field pain into product improvements that make deployments faster and easier: better diagnostics, clearer workflows, installation standards, tooling, documentation, and “self-serve” capabilities
- Work closely with global engineering and product to push changes that remove recurring friction.
**What success looks like**
- Deployments become predictable: faster ramp, fewer surprises, clear ownership.
- Customers trust[](http://Overview.ai) to scale: more lines, more factories, more expansion.
- Your team operates like an elite unit: strong execution, great communication, high morale.
- The product gets better because you turned field reality into roadmap wins
**Who you are**
**Required**
- Proven track record leading complex, multi-site technical deployments in manufacturing environments
- Strong program/project management ability: you can run multiple workstreams, prioritize ruthlessly, and keep people aligned
- Experience leading teams (hiring, training, performance management, developing strong ICs)
- Exceptional communication and stakeholder management (factory floor → customer executives → global teams)
- High ownership, high discipline, high energy; you don’t wait to be told, you drive the outcome
- **Fluent Mandarin, English and Vietnamese** (written and spoken) for global coordination and customer exec communication
- Ability and willingness to travel to China, Vietnam, and the US (location of the factories)
- Strong background in Automation to be able to guide and decide for the hard technical decisions.
### **Strongly preferred**
- Experience in high-tempo environments
- Familiarity with AI inspection / machine vision / automation deployments
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, incomplete info, and shifting constraints without losing momentum
## **What you’ll get**
- A front-row seat at one of the fastest-growing categories in manufacturing: **AI inspection at scale**
- Massive ownership: your execution directly drives revenue and customer expansion
- A high-caliber global team and direct reporting line to the Managing Director, APAC
- Career acceleration and one of the fastest growing global startups.
