ABOUT OVERVIEW.AI
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.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Manufacturing is a relationship-driven industry, and the best opportunities rarely come from cold outreach. They come from trade show floors, industry associations, research institutes, systems integrators, and the practitioner communities buyers trust before they ever evaluate a vendor. We already have the product and the demand. What we do not have is one person who owns how manufacturers discover and trust Overview outside our own website. Today that work is split across leadership and happens in the gaps. This role makes it a function.
WHY THIS ROLE IS EXCITING
- Build it, do not inherit it: no playbook, no existing team, no legacy program to maintain. You define what this function is at Overview.
- Technical depth is the point: this is not a sponsorship coordinator role and not a traditional marketing role. Your credibility with integrators and controls engineers is the asset.
- Assets already waiting for an owner: named technology partners, paid memberships we currently underuse, and real demand from customers running in production.
- Founder access and equity upside: direct line to leadership, and your work visibly changes the company's trajectory.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Event calendar and execution: Own our shows end to end, IMTS, Automate, Semicon, Electronica, and the partner events we should be at, including booth strategy, logistics, staffing, collateral, and on-site execution, and demo the product yourself.
- Event to pipeline motion: Build the repeatable mechanics behind every show: lead capture, structured follow-up, attribution in HubSpot, and ROI reported per event.
- Community footprint: Stand up Overview's independent presence where practitioners actually talk, a community hub on overview.ai plus a real presence on Reddit (r/PLC, r/computervision, r/manufacturing) and the automate.org forum.
- Technical voice: Establish an authentic engineering voice that leads with useful, vendor-neutral guidance, discloses our affiliation, and earns trust rather than drops links. You answer a real inspection or controls question without an SE in the room.
- Reviews and listings: Seed and grow the review sources buyers and AI assistants cite, including G2, Gartner Peer Insights, Qviro, and Capterra.
- Pipeline and reporting: Tie every event, community, integrator, and partner activity to tracked and influenced pipeline in HubSpot, cut what does not work, and partner closely with Business Development, Vision Sales Engineers, and leadership so activity turns into revenue.
WHO YOU ARE
Required
- Technical fluency in machine vision or manufacturing. You have worked customer-facing as an applications engineer, field application engineer, sales or solutions engineer, systems integrator, or in a comparable technical role in machine vision, industrial automation, robotics, or industrial software.
- You can stand on your own technically. Run a live product demo, scope an inspection or integration use case, and hold a credible conversation with an integrator, controls engineer, or plant team with no sales engineer present.
- 3 to 5+ years customer-facing in a technical or GTM role in machine vision, manufacturing automation, or robotics.
- You bring a playbook, not just attendance. You have owned trade shows from booth to follow-up, you know what good looks like on a show floor, and you can name the pipeline your events produced and how you tracked it.
- You build from zero and ramp fast. You have stood up a program with no playbook, no team, and unclear scope, and you get productive without a structure waiting for you.
- You write for engineers, not for marketing. You can speak and write to manufacturing engineers in a way they find useful, vendor-neutral, and credible. Expect to show us a short work sample.
- Coachable and direct. You take feedback well, adopt how the team already works, and improve on it rather than arriving with a fixed method.
- Willing to travel across North America to shows, customer sites, and partner organizations, roughly 30% for the first two months and 25% ongoing.
Strong Preferences
- Direct vendor or integrator experience at a machine vision, inspection, or industrial automation company (Cognex, Keyence, Zebra, Basler, Landing AI, Instrumental, and similar) or at a machine-vision systems integrator.
- An existing community or channel footprint. You are already active and respected in engineering communities, or you have grown a channel presence before, so the trust-building starts on day one instead of month three.
- Existing relationships with manufacturing associations (A3, ARM Institute, Manufacturing USA, MEP, automate.org) or with systems integrators.
- Co-marketing or co-sell experience with technology partners: joint webinars, co-marketing programs, or referral paths.
- Familiarity with HubSpot and modern GTM and community tooling.
- Content and social range across LinkedIn, Reddit, and short-form video.
- Based in San Francisco. This role is open to remote candidates across North America, and we have a preference for the Bay Area given the proximity to the team and to the hardware.
WHY OVERVIEW.AI
- Extreme growth and real-world impact: We're not building demos. We're deploying AI systems on real production lines, at scale.
- Talent density: You'll work with world-class engineers and operators across AI, embedded systems, and enterprise deployment.
- Front-row seat to the AI manufacturing wave: One of the biggest transformations happening in industry right now.
- Ownership: Your work directly changes the trajectory of the company.
- Global exposure: You'll work with the most advanced customers and factories in the world.
Compensation Range: $90K - $120K

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Technical Lead
Verify your role meets specialty occupation standards
Pull the O*NET profile for Technical Lead and confirm the job zone and education requirements. USCIS scrutinizes hybrid management-engineering roles, so document that your position requires a specific technical degree, not a general bachelor's in any field.
Check prevailing wage levels before negotiating
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up Level II and Level III wages for your SOC code and target metro area. Employers must certify the higher of the actual or prevailing wage, so knowing the floor stops you from accepting offers that can't clear the LCA.
Target employers with cap-exempt filing pathways
Universities, affiliated nonprofits, and qualifying research organizations can file H-1B petitions outside the annual cap. If you're open to higher-education or research environments, these roles let you start without waiting for an April lottery selection.
Search H-1B filing history on Migrate Mate
Filter by Technical Lead job titles in Migrate Mate to see which employers have active LCA certifications for this role. Prioritize companies with recent filings in your target city, since a prior LCA signals the employer already understands the specialty occupation requirements.
Request premium processing before your start date
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. If your offer letter has a firm start date, ask the employer to file with premium processing so USCIS targets a 15-business-day decision, reducing the risk of a delayed start or cap-gap complications.
Prepare a specialty occupation evidence package early
USCIS issues Requests for Evidence on Technical Lead petitions when the role spans both coding and people management. Gather job postings, organizational charts, and a detailed duties letter showing the position requires applied technical knowledge at the bachelor's-degree level or above.
H-1B Visa Technical Lead: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Lead role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical discipline such as computer science, software engineering, or a related field. USCIS evaluates the actual duties, not just the title. Roles that blend team management with hands-on architecture or engineering work qualify, but employers must document why a general degree is insufficient.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Technical Lead positions?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified LCA filings tied to Technical Lead job titles, so you can target companies that have already navigated the DOL certification process for this role. Filtering by location and filing recency helps you focus outreach on employers actively hiring at this level rather than those who sponsored years ago in a different market.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Technical Lead role without restarting the process?
You can port to a new employer under H-1B portability once your current petition has been approved and you've maintained valid status. The new employer files an I-129 transfer petition, and you can start working as soon as USCIS receives it. The specialty occupation requirements still apply, and the new role must qualify independently.
What happens to my H-1B status if I'm laid off from a Technical Lead role?
USCIS provides a 60-day grace period after involuntary termination, during which you can pursue a new H-1B transfer, change to a different visa status, or make arrangements to depart. The grace period runs once per authorized validity period, so securing a new employer petition receipt before day 60 is essential to maintaining continuous authorized status.
Does the prevailing wage for Technical Lead vary by location?
Yes. The DOL sets prevailing wages by SOC code and metropolitan area, so a Technical Lead in San Francisco carries a higher certified wage floor than the same role in a smaller market. Your employer's LCA must certify the wage applicable to the specific work location listed on the petition, not the company's headquarters city.
