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.\nTutor Intelligence is changing that.\nTutor 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. Sonny is a semi-humanoid robot with frontier dexterity approaching the human form. Cassie does 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.\nFounded 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.\nOur mission is grand: robots everywhere, for the common good, raising the standard of living across North America, and then the world.\nWhy Tutor?\nWhether 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.\nOur 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.\nThe Role\nTutor builds its own robots, and the hardware organization is about to get a lot bigger. Teams are growing, new teams are forming, and for the first time we are developing the next version of a robot while the current one ships. We are hiring engineering managers to run those teams.\nEach team owns a piece of a robot: a mechanism, an electronics subsystem, a research platform, or a new version of something already in the field. The manager owns the people, the schedule, and the design decisions, and works with manufacturing from the first concept so that what the team designs can be built.\nWhat You'll Do\nHire and run a team of hardware engineers, and grow them\nTake a subsystem from concept through design, prototype, test, and release to manufacturing\nRun your team's design reviews and make the calls that come out of them\nWork with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and field service on everything your team ships\nWork with the software and research teams that depend on your hardware, and that your hardware depends on\nWhat We're Looking For\nYou were a strong engineer before you managed, and you have run a team of several engineers\nYou have designed and shipped electromechanical products\nYou have taken a design into manufacturing and lived with what happened next\nYou still read the drawings\nNice to Have\nRobots, or another product where mechanics, electronics, firmware, and software all have to work together\nProducts built in volume\nShipping one generation of a product while designing the next\nBenefits\nFully employer-covered health insurance, so you’re protected without the premium.\n A managed 401(k) to help you plan for the future.\nGenerous time off: unlimited PTO and all federal holidays off for full-time salaried employees, and 16+ days of accrued paid time off plus 1.5x pay on federal holidays for hourly employees.\n Regular in-office meals and team social events throughout the year.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3917,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Health
