● Own the mechanical integration of camera + lens + lighting into customer automation machines:
○ mounting design, stability, alignment, adjustability, service access, environmental protection, cable routing/strain relief
● Review machine builder CAD (2D/3D) and sign off on designs that meet Overview.ai integration standards.
● Provide direct, practical feedback to machine builders to improve designs before metal is cut:
○ reduce vibration sensitivity, protect optics, ensure repeatable alignment, avoid thermal drift, improve maintainability
● Specify integration requirements and best practices:
○ mounting interfaces, bracket designs, tolerances, datum strategy, access clearances, protective enclosures, contamination management
● Anticipate long-term failure modes and design them out:
○ loosening fasteners, wear points, cable fatigue, lens contamination, shock/vibration, misalignment, fixture flex
● Own commissioning readiness: ensure mechanical design supports stable triggering, repeatable imaging, and rapid service.
Field applications engineering (production outcomes)
● Support new line deployments and maintain/optimize systems already installed at customer sites.
● Diagnose issues that look “AI” but are actually mechanical/system integration problems:
○ intermittent image quality, drift over time, vibration blur, occlusion, part presentation variability, contamination
● Train customer teams and machine builders on integration best practices and basic troubleshooting.
● Document field learnings and turn them into repeatable standards, checklists, and reference designs.
