About Tutor
We believe robots are the biggest lever we have to making the physical world a better, more affordable place. But robots are a rounding error in our society: nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t even have a single robot, and robots have yet to make their way into our homes or places of business.
Tutor Intelligence is changing that.
Tutor is a robotics research and deployment company, building generally capable robot hardware and artificial intelligence to enable robots to go where no robots have gone before. Our robots range from a semi-humanoid with frontier dexterity approaching the human form to workhorses that do back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for businesses from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Tutor robots are manufactured at scale and operate as a network, combining the whole fleet’s learned experience to train ever more capable robot artificial intelligence.
Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, our team is full stack: we design and manufacture robot hardware, train our own models, work directly with the smallest and largest end-customers, and maintain our fleet across the United States. We’re a team of researchers, engineers, technicians, operators, and sellers who love building things and solving hard problems.
Our mission is grand: robots everywhere, for the common good, raising the standard of living across North America, and then the world.
Why Join
- Build the team and the system. You shape how we build robots and who builds them.
- Lead without leaving the hardware. You manage a team and still get your hands dirty.
- Real hardware, real stakes. Your fixes run on robots working at customer sites.
- AI is how we work. You have the tools and the backing to automate what most factories still do by hand.
- Direct line to leadership. Work side by side with hardware, software and deployment teams.
How We Work: Our Values in This Role We hire against our values, and we'll interview you against them too. Here's what they look like in this seat:
- Love of the Game. You lead from the bench, not from a slide deck.
- Gumption. When a robot won't ship, you and your team are already on the floor finding out why.
- Beginner's Mindset. You question how we build and test today, and you change your mind fast when the data says to.
- Belief in Each Other. You give your engineers real ownership, help them grow, and earn the hardware team's respect by being right and being fair.
- Keep Moving Forward. You find the fix that keeps the line moving today, then make it permanent.
- Customer Obsession. Every shortcut on the line shows up at a customer site. You and your team build it right.
Why Tutor?
Whether you’re designing robots, closing deals, running deployments, or creating the processes that help us scale, your work doesn’t sit on a shelf. It shows up on real production floors, making physical work safer and more affordable.
Our team is driven by curiosity and a genuine love of building. Everyone here takes real ownership, learns fast, and holds a high bar while having each other’s backs. If you love hard problems and creating things that didn’t exist before, you’ll fit right in.
