Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

**Title:** Senior Embedded Systems Engineer **Location:** Taiwan (On-site / Hybrid) **Team:** Engineering **Reports to:** Engineering Manager ### **About the company** [Overview.ai](http://Overview.ai) is transforming manufacturing quality control with advanced edge-enabled AI vision system that combines cutting-edge deep learning with ease of use and quick setup. Our system handles a wide array of inspection tasks—from subtle assembly verification to defect detection and orientation checks—delivering real-time, high-accuracy inspections that seamlessly integrate into existing production lines.

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 **Senior 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 - 5-7+ 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 ### **Nice to have** - 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 ### **Why join** - 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
