Overview

We are a Vancouver-based robotics, AI, and machine vision startup backed by VC funding and recognized with industry awards. Apera AI helps manufacturers make factories more flexible and productive with 4D Vision—robots that can see and handle objects with human-like capability. We are seeking a

Instructional Designer

who turns complexity into clarity by crafting interactive digital courses and dynamic live workshops for learning robotic vision across factories, labs, and classrooms globally. This role is broader, faster, and closer to the cutting edge. You will create learning that drives adoption, retention, and measurable ROI for our advanced robotics vision systems. What You’ll Do

Design and build.

Create immersive e-learning modules (Articulate, Captivate, Storyline) and live workshop assets that simplify robotics training and make it repeatable. Accelerate adoption.

Build blended learning programs that reduce time-to-proficiency for operators and technicians by 30% or more. Empower trainers.

Develop instructor guides, job aids, and visual playbooks to help global training partners scale delivery. Integrate AI and analytics.

Use data to personalize learning and continuously improve outcomes. Collaborate cross-functionally.

Work with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, Sales, and Marketing to keep learning experiences aligned with product releases. Why This Is a Career Move — Not Just a Job

Training is the bridge between invention and impact. You’ll build learning experiences that enable industrial transformation and help robots see more clearly in real-world contexts. You’ll help create a learning ecosystem that scales globally and defines how humans and machines collaborate. Within a year, you’ll have tangible results in faster adoption, reduced support load, measurable uptime and safety gains, and a growing reputation as the person who made it possible. If you’re excited by a role where design skills unlock real-world impact and help robots see, this is for you. Why You’ll Love It Here

Purpose with impact.

You’re shaping how the world builds, ships, and moves. Freedom to innovate.

Create new ways to teach robotics vision rather than relying on stale manuals. Growth at the frontier.

Learn with experts in robotics, AI, vision, and automation while mastering next-gen learning analytics. A culture that values curiosity.

Fresh ideas, smart risk-taking, and creative experimentation are part of the DNA. What We’re Looking For

Experience designing technical or product training (online and live). Proficiency with e-learning tools (Articulate, Captivate, Storyline, Canva). Ability to tailor content for diverse learners—from operators to engineers to executives. Bonus points for experience in robotics, industrial automation, or B2B tech. Above all: clarity, creativity, curiosity, and a passion for helping others feel smart. Why Apera
