The Company

Tutor Intelligence is building the technology and processes to let robots go where they've never gone before: the average American factory and warehouse. We understand that general-purpose and generally intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes, and we're not content to sit on the sidelines.

Founded by MIT alumni and backed with over $40M in funding by leading investors in AI and robotics, Tutor combines human and artificial intelligence to build something greater than the sum of its parts — a Tutor Intelligence. As an AI software company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, every line of code, process change, and decision at Tutor has a direct impact on the physical economy. We're seeking thinkers, builders, and operators who want to help deliver the future of automation.

As a Robotics Hardware Engineer at Tutor Intelligence, you'll design, build, and iterate on the physical systems that make our robots work in the real world. You'll touch everything — arms, chassis, actuators, drive modules, PCBs, grippers, enclosures, power systems, and more. You'll own projects end-to-end, from early ideation through design, sourcing, and production. This role is open to mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and anyone who can credibly play for both teams. We love generalists.

We believe great work happens when talented people collaborate with low ego and high trust. At Tutor, everyone is empowered to own meaningful problems and have real impact. We value technical excellence, intellectual honesty, thoughtful urgency, and respect for one another.
