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.

Let’s End Robot Blindness Together.

Robots can do amazing things - if they can see. That’s where you come in.

We’re Apera AI. Our breakthrough 4D Vision™ systems turn blind robots into intelligent, adaptable workers. But that transformation doesn’t happen without great teams - especially those leading the deployment, onboarding, and optimization of our technology on the factory floor.

We’re hiring a Senior FAE to lead how Apera’s AI vision technology is delivered, adopted, and scaled in real manufacturing environments. This is a leadership-first role - not just about solving problems, but about building the people and processes that prevent them.

What You’ll Actually Do:

Lead planning, installation, and commissioning of Apera’s vision systems at customer sites
Develop and coach a high-performing FAE team, setting standards for excellence
Oversee customer onboarding and training programs that build operator confidence
Collaborate with Engineering/Product to drive product feedback and improvement
Track operational KPIs - uptime, adoption, and deployment quality
Create tools and documentation that scale field operations reliably
Own resolution of complex customer or technical escalations

Why This Is a Career Move:

Lead technology that’s redefining global automation
Accelerate your growth across AI, robotics, and leadership
Build high-performing teams from the ground up
Influence strategy, product, and process from a key execution point

What We’re Looking For:

9–15 years of relevant experience, including leadership of technical and engineering teams
Strong understanding of robotics, automation, and troubleshooting
Exceptional communicator with executive presence
Willing to travel 50–60%, including internationally

Why Apera?

Every employee is an owner - equity for all.
A culture of curiosity: we experiment, learn fast, and share openly.
Well-funded with a recent Series A to fuel ambitious product roadmaps and growth.
Trusted by big-name automotive in TIER 1 suppliers.
High-impact work with autonomy and clear paths to grow.

At Apera AI, every employee owns equity, because those who build the future should share in its upside.
Join us to make robotics more accessible, predictable, and powerful.
