Production Engineer - Manufacturing Process and ECO Implementation

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.

Every design change is a promise that the next robot will be better. At our pace, a change that lands badly becomes scrap, rework, a stopped line or a robot that fails at a customer site. A change that lands well makes every robot after it better. The difference is the process, and you'll own it.

You own how engineering changes get from an approved design onto the factory floor: a clean cut-in, updated procedures, trained technicians, the right parts on the shelf, and robots that build right the first time after the change.

This role sits on the Production Engineering team within Operations and reports to the Head of Manufacturing. Production Engineering is the technical bridge between Hardware Engineering, Supply Chain, Production and Customer Success, and you'll work across both of our product lines. This is an individual contributor role with real authority: if a change isn't ready for the floor, it doesn't go to the floor.

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.
