Senior Technical Program Manager

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.

Tutor is hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to own program management for the Cassie workstream. Cassie is our robot worker for pallets and cases: we have many Cassie robots in production at customer sites today and the next products built on the same platform are in development now. The workstream is about 15-20 engineers across software and hardware. This role will report to an engineering manager.

We’re looking for a candidate who has run programs long enough to know which parts of the job are not the interesting part - and has ideas for how to automate it. Chasing status, reconciling three trackers that disagree, tracking dependencies - all need to get done, but ideally not by a person. We’re looking for someone who has watched AI tools get good enough to do some of that grunt work and has a vision for how a program should run with automation, updating as tools increase in efficacy. We want the person who will build that automation while operating the program.

Tutor builds robot workers and deploys them directly into the factories and warehouses that need them. The Cassie workstream's output is measured in robots that keep running on a customer's line and in new products that reach production on schedule. That means one team carries a fleet in production and a platform in development at the same time, with software, hardware, manufacturing, deployment, and customer teams all collaborating. This role will own the integrated plan, the operating cadence, the risks, the cross-team dependencies, and the honest weekly picture of where things stand.

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 of 160+ 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.
