Senior Machine Learning / Computer Vision AppliedScientist

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.

Job Description 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.

We are looking for

a Senior Machine Learning and Computer Vision Applied Scientist

with outstanding problem‑solving skills to join our AI team. This

is an in‑person role based in our Vancouver office, where you will

collaborate closely with a small group of ambitious engineers and

applied scientists delivering the future of robotic perception.

Your work will be both grounded in state‑of‑the‑art research and

applied to guiding industrial robots on factory floors around the

world.

You will own projects end‑to‑end from

literature review through prototyping, benchmarking, and scaling.

This includes :

Extending Apera’s industry best

object detection, stereo depth estimation, and 6d pose estimation

modules

Integrating foundation models into our

perception stack to improve generalization and few‑shot / zero‑shot

capabilities

Collaborating with the C++

application team to get models deployed and user experiences

optimized

Collaborating with the

infrastructure team to train and manage data on

Tracking the latest publications in top

computer vision and robotics

venues

Prototyping and then implementing

production training and deployment, mainly in

PyTorch

Optimizing models for real‑time

deployment at the edge (~1 Hz, powerful NVIDIA GPU) to support high

accuracy, high robustness robot

guidance

Engineering for industrial

reliability of 99.9%

About You You are

motivated, talented, hardworking and have an entrepreneurial

spirit. You enjoy making large impact at your company. You enjoy

solving challenging problems rooted in real‑world physics using

science, imagination, creativity, and

persistence.
