Teams at Apera AI

Develop and close six-figure industrial automation deals across Michigan and Ohio. Build territory pipeline, engage automotive manufacturers and OEMs, lead technical-commercial discussions, create ROI models and proposals, collaborate on proof-of-concept designs and demonstrations, and expand strategic accounts into multi-site programs. Requires strong relationships across Tier 1 suppliers, plant engineers, and executive buyers, plus willingness to travel extensively.

Design and build industrial vision-guided robotic cells, camera systems, tooling, fixtures, enclosures, and electrical integrations. Own VuePort camera calibration, research metrology methods, develop robot drivers in C++ and Python, optimize motion and cycle times, conduct structured testing, and support products from prototyping through production and field deployment. Collaborate with vision, software, product, manufacturing, suppliers, and industrial partners in an in-person Vancouver lab and office.

Own the full sales cycle for value accounts across North America, including outbound prospecting, lead qualification, technical discovery, virtual product demonstrations, quoting, negotiation, closing, account expansion, forecasting, and CRM management. The role requires translating robotics and AI vision concepts into business value while collaborating with Marketing, Engineering, Applications, Product, and Customer Success teams.
