Apera AI makes industrial robots more reliable and faster by giving them advanced 4D vision for real-time perception and decision-making. Its core product, Apera Vue, is robot-agnostic vision software that uses AI, deep learning, computer vision, and simulation to enable pose estimation, object recognition, and path planning. The company also offers Forge Lab, an AI training and simulation environment and deploys via a SaaS plus project-based model compatible with major robot brands and cloud workflows. Typical applications include bin picking, robotic guidance, assembly, and machine tending in automotive, medical devices, and metal fabrication. Apera AI targets industrial manufacturers seeking to scale vision-guided automation and reduce deployment uncertainty.

We are an innovative, Vancouver-based startup at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision technologies. Backed by VC funding and we’ve been recognized with the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Award, the AAM Supplier Excellence Innovation Award, and the 2024 BC Tech “Company of the Year – Growth”, we are on a mission to redefine the future of AI-driven robotic vision systems. Apera AI helps manufacturers make their factories more flexible and productive. Robots enhanced with Apera’s software have 4D Vision – the ability to see and handle objects with human-like capability. Challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly are now open to fast, precise, and reliable automation. Apera is led by an experienced team from high-growth companies focused on robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing.
Role Overview We’re looking for a Software Developer, Cloud Infrastructure (Co-Op) who is excited to learn how modern cloud platforms support AI-driven robotics systems. In this role, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to help build and improve the cloud services that power our vision-guided robots, gaining hands-on experience with real production systems in a supportive, fast-learning environment.
This is an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned in school to real-world infrastructure challenges, while developing practical skills in cloud engineering, DevOps, and distributed systems. This role is based in person at our Vancouver office and is an 8-month co-op term.
