Apera is an innovative, Vancouver-based company at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision — recognized with the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Award and the 2024 BC Tech "Company of the Year, Growth" award. We're on a mission to redefine AI-driven robotic vision.
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 grasp objects with human-like capability. Challenging applications such as bin picking, sorting, packaging, and assembly are now open to fast, precise, and reliable automation. We work with the world's leading automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
Our portfolio spans Vue (our 4D Vision software), Forge (a no-code simulation and AI training studio where customers build, validate, and de-risk robotic cells before any hardware is bought), and VuePod, our new turnkey, productized bin-picking cell.
We're looking for an Intermediate Mechatronics Engineer to join our Robotics & Grasping team, the team that turns Apera's vision into products that pick and place on the factory floor and that makes automation simple and a joy to implement.
This is a hands-on, hardware-first role at a company in the middle of its transition from software-only to software plus hardware. You'll have a strong mechanical and electrical foundation, and you'll be comfortable writing Python to run quick tests and reading and contributing to C++.
You'll work alongside senior mechatronics engineers and professional engineers (P.Eng.), and with our vision, software and product teams, using the latest machine vision technology to design and build complete industrial vision guided robotic cells, from the first concept sketch to production.
You'll also own a piece of hardware that matters. Our VuePort cameras are the eyes of every Apera system: we build them from off-the-shelf 2D machine vision cameras, assemble them in-house and calibrate them to deliver high-fidelity, high-accuracy 3D perception. You'll maintain and improve the calibration methods and the calibration system behind them, and keep pushing them to continue being the most accurate 3D system in the industry.
At Apera, we give robots vision. Now we're building the hardware around it — the cells, tooling and cameras that turn that vision into working automation.
You'll join at the inflection point. Apera is moving from a software product with a little mechanical work to a company that designs and ships serious hardware. The decisions you make now will shape our whole physical automation lineup.
You'll own the eyes of the system. VuePort calibration is yours to improve. Every accuracy gain you find shows up in every robot we deploy.
You'll learn from the best. Senior mechatronics engineers and P.Engs on the team, and applied vision scientists and software engineers.
You'll work with real industrial partners. Design alongside world class integrators and global manufacturers to build safety into every cell from day one.
You'll make deployment fast and joyful. Design physical products that reduce deployment time from weeks or months to hours or minutes, and make installing an Apera system feel joyful and productive compared with a competitor’s dull, error-prone process.
You'll see your work on the line. The cells you design move from concept to production and run in real factories.
You'll help define physical AI. Perception, software and motion coming together in one product is where the industry is heading, and you'll be building it with the leaders in the field.
This role is based in person at our Vancouver office.
