Vision Sales Engineer - Lakes Region

Join a world-class team of engineers, scientists, and builders shipping AI vision systems that catch defects humans can't, deployed in factories across 5 continents.

We're not just another AI startup. We ship real hardware + software that runs 24/7 in demanding factory environments.

Work on real-time AI inference, edge computing, and multi-camera systems that inspect thousands of parts per minute in noisy, vibrating factory environments.

Our team spans San Francisco, Austin, Mexico City, São Paulo, Zurich, Taipei, Shanghai and more. Work from where you do your best work.

We move at startup speed with manufacturing rigor. Small teams, big ownership, direct customer impact. You'll see your work in production, not Power Points.

Competitive salary, equity, comprehensive health insurance, 401(k), and generous PTO. We invest in our people as much as our technology.

Work alongside former Tesla, Apple, and top-tier manufacturing engineers. We sponsor conferences, courses, and certifications.

Your code runs on real production lines catching real defects. Reducing waste, improving safety, and helping manufacturers compete globally.

Find your next role. We're looking for talented people who thrive on hard problems and want their work to matter.

Overview US

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.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is not a cold start. We already have major logos, executive buy-in, and deployments running on real production lines, and we're taking that motion into new U.S. regions. You'll open new inspection points and new logos, then turn first-station wins into multi-line, multi-site rollouts. You can come from either side: a proven industrial seller with real technical depth, or a hands‑on controls, automation, or vision engineer ready to own a number.

WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING

Territory ownership from day one: You own pipeline, forecast, and revenue, with credit across every site in the accounts you own.

Delta selling, not slick talk: You win on technical advantages you can demonstrate on the line.

Real support, not hero mode: You get a dedicated applications and engineering escalation path and a proven evaluation playbook.

Clear path up: Strategic Accounts, Regional Lead, player‑coach, and GM‑style territory ownership as we scale.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Territory revenue: Own pipeline, forecast, and revenue from BDR‑sourced and inbound opportunities through close.

Technical discovery: Run high‑signal discovery with Quality, Process, Automation, and Ops to find the real inspection problem and where the incumbent fails.

Hands‑on demos and evaluations: Build recipes, demo on real parts, and own POCs end‑to‑end, from line access and acceptance criteria…

Urgency and closing: Drive milestones to dates, unblock line access and integration issues early, and close without drift to next quarter.

Expansion: Turn first‑station wins into repeatable rollouts across lines, plants, and inspection points.

Field presence: Live in the factory, with 60…
