Software Developer - Full Stack (Co-op)

<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Role Overview:</span></strong></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">Apera AI is seeking a Full Stack Software Developer (Co-op) for the <strong>8 months term period (Jan 2027 - August 2027) </strong>to join the team behind Apera Forge, our web-based simulation and development platform for vision-guided robotics.
