Vision Sales Engineer - Great Lakes Region

Overview Corporation • Chicago, IL

1d • $90,000 - $115,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

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.

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.

Requirements

• You've personally deployed, commissioned, or debugged automation, vision, or industrial hardware on a production floor.
• You pick up a new technical product from its documentation and put it to work fast.
• You explain technical concepts plainly to plant and quality engineers, and you say "I don't know" instead of guessing.
• You've owned a number, earned commission, or driven a deal or expansion you can speak to with specifics. If you are more technical, you have experience on a factory floor and know how to engage with technical customers or stakeholders.
• You do the homework and ask the right questions before you pitch.
• You live in or will relocate to your territory, and you're energized by 60 to 80% travel.

Nice To Haves

• Machine vision experience with Keyence, Cognex, or AI inspection vendors.
• Manufacturing floor time in automotive, aerospace, or electronics.
• PLC, controls, or automation
• Startup or new-territory experience.

Responsibilities

• Own pipeline, forecast, and revenue from BDR-sourced and inbound opportunities through close.
• Run high-signal discovery with Quality, Process, Automation, and Ops to find the real inspection problem and where the incumbent fails.
• Build recipes, demo on real parts, and own POCs end to end, from line access and acceptance criteria to the readout that converts.
• Drive milestones to dates, unblock line access and integration issues early, and close without drift to next quarter.
• Turn first-station wins into repeatable rollouts across lines, plants, and inspection points.
• Live in the factory, with 60 to 80% travel across your territory.
