Field Application Engineer

<div class="content-intro"><p>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 &amp; 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.&nbsp; 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.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong">Let’s</span><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong"> End Robot Blindness</span></span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong">Robots can do amazing </span><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong">things</span><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong">, </span><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong">if</span><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong"> they can see. </span><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong">That’s</span><span data-ccp-charstyle="Strong"> where you come in.</span></span></strong>&nbsp;<br><span data-contrast="none">We’re Apera AI.
