Tutor builds generally capable robots and puts them to work. Delivered in days not years, from $14 an hour. Backed by AI Grant and USV.
About the role
You are our first Head of Supply Chain, reporting to the CTO. Your mandate: the supply base never limits how fast we build and deploy robots. You’ll build the function from the ground up (the team, the supplier base, the planning engine and the tools) and run it on data and engineering judgment, not spreadsheets. You’ll build strong relationships and partnerships with our suppliers so they grow as we grow, sit at the table from first CAD, and drive cost down initatives. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You’ve taken a hardware supply chain from startup to volume production, ideally in robotics or complex electromechanical systems
- You know electromechanical commodities, from fabricated and cast parts to electronics, motion and power
- You’ve developed suppliers in Asia in person and can tell one that can scale from one that can’t
- You’ve managed contract manufacturers and taken real cost out through negotiation and design changes
- You’ve led NPI sourcing from early design through ramp
- You build and lead teams, and still get your hands dirty
More about this role
About Tutor
We believe robots should be the next chapter in making physical labor safer and more affordable. But most American factories and warehouses still don’t have a single robot. Tutor Intelligence is changing that.
We build robots that go straight into real factories and warehouses, to do real work, with real impact. Our robots move boxes, pallets and bulk goods, and pick and pack with human-like dexterity, for family-owned manufacturers and some of the largest brands in the world. Every robot learns on the job, and each one we deploy makes the next one more capable, more affordable and faster to put to work.
Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, we do it all in-house: the robotics hardware, the machine learning, and the field deployment and service.
