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 production system. The designs, test systems and processes that will take us to scale don't exist yet. You build them.
- Set the technical bar. You define the standard for Production Engineering and mentor the engineers who grow with it.
- Real hardware, real stakes. Debug robots on the floor, shape the design with hardware engineering and see your fixes running at customer sites.
- AI is how we work. You'll have the tools and the backing to automate what most factories still do by hand.
- Direct line to leadership. Report to the Head of Manufacturing and 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'd rather be at the bench with a scope on a board than in a slide review.
- Gumption. When a robot won't ship, you're 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 raise the bar for the engineers around you 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 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.
