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
Own complex mechanical subsystems that make robot manipulation and data collection work. You will turn uncertain requirements into mechanisms, end effectors, fixtures, and sensor assemblies, then carry those designs through fabrication, integration, validation, and repeatable builds. This is a hands-on design role. You will define the approach within your scope, work closely with electrical, software, and research colleagues, and stay responsible for the reliability and maintainability of the hardware you build. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Evidence of independently owning complex mechanical design work through fabrication, integrated testing, and sustained use
- Strong 3D CAD, engineering drawings, tolerance analysis, and practical application of GD&T
- Sound mechanics and the ability to justify design choices with calculations, analysis, and experiment
- Hands-on skill in prototyping and assembly, and practical understanding of machining and manufacturing processes
- Ability to explain a failed design, the evidence that isolated the cause, and the iteration that resolved it
- Ability to coordinate across disciplines, communicate risks early, and produce documentation others can build from
More about this role
We believe robots will be the next chapter in making physical labor safer and more affordable. But, nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses 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 robot Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Our robot Sonny does handwork, using two arms to achieve human-like dexterity in picking and packing. 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. 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.
