- **Title:** Staff 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 **Staff 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
- 8-10+ 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
