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.\nWe’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).\nWhy this role is different\nOur demand is exploding in the possible way, and you will help deliver that value to customers and help us grow even more.\nYou’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.\nIf 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.\nWhat you’ll own\n1) Deployment outcomes at scale\nOwn the delivery of deployments across multiple factories and lines: schedule, staffing, readiness, execution, stabilization.\n\nDrive deployments to the finish line: stable inspections, acceptance criteria met, and clear handoff to customer operations.\n\nBuild repeatable playbooks that reduce time-to-production and increase customer self-sufficiency.\n\n2) Team leadership (hire, train, operate)\nLead and grow a high-performance field team: applications engineers + technicians across regions.\n\nSet standards for execution: daily/weekly cadence, escalation paths, documentation, and quality bars.\n\nCoach your team to be fast, calm, and effective under pressure-especially when production is on the line.\n\n3) Customer leadership (scope, expectations, urgency)\nBe the on-the-ground leader with customer stakeholders: process, quality, automation, and factory management.\n\nManage scope ruthlessly but professionally: protect outcomes, prevent scope creep, and keep the project moving.\n\nDrive urgency: align customer resources, line access, sample parts, and decision-making so deployments don’t stall.\n\n4) Process and systems building\nCreate the operational infrastructure that makes deployment scale:\nonboarding + training frameworks, checklists, commissioning templates, project dashboards, post-mortems, and continuous improvement loops\n\nTrack what matters: deployment cycle time, blockers, time-to-stability, acceptance rate, expansion readiness.\n\n5) Product feedback that changes the roadmap\nTranslate field pain into product improvements that make deployments faster and easier:\nbetter diagnostics, clearer workflows, installation standards, tooling, documentation, and “self-serve” capabilities\n\nWork closely with global engineering and product to push changes that remove recurring friction.\n\nWhat success looks like\nDeployments become predictable: faster ramp, fewer surprises, clear ownership.\n\nCustomers trust Overview.ai to scale: more lines, more factories, more expansion.\n\nYour team operates like an elite unit: strong execution, great communication, high morale.\n\nThe product gets better because you turned field reality into roadmap wins\n\nWho you are\nRequired\nProven track record leading complex, multi-site technical deployments in manufacturing environments\n\nStrong program/project management ability: you can run multiple workstreams, prioritize ruthlessly, and keep people aligned\n\nExperience leading teams (hiring, training, performance management, developing strong ICs)\n\nExceptional communication and stakeholder management (factory floor → customer executives → global teams)\n\nHigh ownership, high discipline, high energy; you don’t wait to be told- you drive the outcome\n\nFluent Mandarin + strong English (written and spoken) for global coordination and customer exec communication\n\nStrongly preferred\nExperience in high-tempo environments\n\nFamiliarity with AI inspection / machine vision / automation deployments\n\nAbility to navigate ambiguity, incomplete info, and shifting constraints without losing momentum\n\nWhat you’ll get\nA front-row seat at one of the fastest-growing categories in manufacturing: AI inspection at scale\n\nMassive ownership: your execution directly drives revenue and customer expansion\n\nA high-caliber global team and direct reporting line to the founder\n\nCareer acceleration and one of the fastest growing US startups.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4735,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"China","iso":"CN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Computer Vision","Edge AI","Industrial AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T14:16:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":19,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.425,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":44,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","wave","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-04T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/overview-ai-applications-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/overview-ai-applications-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-05T03:28:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4634,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":366,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-06T00:00:00Z"}}}
