VR Robot Operator and Support Technician

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.

We are seeking a focused and reliable VR Robot Operator to remotely control robotic systems using a virtual reality headset and handheld controllers. The operator will complete structured pick-and-place objectives by identifying, picking up, moving, and accurately placing specified items.

The operator’s movements contribute to improvements in robot performance and learning. Actions must therefore be deliberate, efficient, consistent, and precise. Operators are expected to follow each objective as written, maintain a steady operating pace, and minimize hesitation, unnecessary movement, and repeated attempts while prioritizing safety.

The operator will also monitor robot performance, respond to operational issues, and provide first-line technical support using approved procedures. This role requires strong spatial awareness, attention to detail, disciplined troubleshooting, and clear communication with customers and internal technical teams.

Available to work assigned shifts based on operational coverage requirements.

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.
