Simulation engineer Jobs in Vancouver, BC

Overview

We are an innovative, Vancouver-based startup at the forefront of robotics, AI, and machine vision technologies. Backed by VC funding and recognized with awards including 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 redefining 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. Apera AI builds breakthrough 4D Vision™ systems that give robots the clarity to handle complex, real-world tasks. But robots don’t just need vision, they need the brains and software to act on it. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a Full Stack Software Developer who thrives on building the tools that make AI-powered robotics real. Someone who can turn complex data, 3D vision, and simulation workflows into elegant, intuitive web applications that engineers love to use. This isn’t a typical software role. It’s bigger, faster, and closer to the action. At Apera AI, you’ll build front-to-back features that shape how robotic vision is deployed across industries worldwide.

What You’ll Do

• Design and deliver : Build production-ready features across the stack - from modern React UIs to scalable APIs and data services.
• Shape experiences : Turn complex 3D vision workflows into intuitive, high-performance web interfaces used by robotics engineers.
• Integrate intelligence : Connect AI-driven analytics and simulation data to Forge, enabling users to visualize, tune, and validate robotic performance.
• Collaborate cross-functionally : Work with ML, robotics, and UX teams to design features that bridge AI algorithms and real-world deployment tools.
• Optimize for speed and scale : Implement efficient data pipelines and automated testing to ensure reliability, maintainability, and fast iteration.
• Continuously improve : Apply user feedback and analytics to refine usability, reduce friction, and increase adoption.

Why This Is a Career Move (Not Just a Job)

At Apera, we don’t just build robots, we build the intelligence that helps them see, think, and act.
