Tutor IntelligenceJobsCloseBy Editorial Insights
Tutor Intelligence is hiring a full-time Mechanical Engineer (Robotics) to join its Watertown, MA onsite team as a Member of Technical Staff focused on hardware design and rapid prototyping. The company values ambitious builders who can design, build, and push hardware concepts forward, with CAD chops (Onshape) and a track record of hands-on fabrication. Roles are flexible; your title is MoTS and you’ll rotate projects quarter to quarter based on team needs, so adaptability and a high technical bar matter most. To apply, highlight concrete builds, explain how you learned new tools, show collaboration and impact, and tailor your portfolio to robotics deployment in real-world facilities.
About Tutor
We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.
As an AI robotics company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.
Requirements
- Pretty good with CAD (We use onshape)
- Built a lot of stuff
- Likes to design hardware
- Creative
- Can push projects forward
- Can learn / figure out pretty much anything
About Our Roles & Titles
At Tutor, we believe great engineers and researchers are defined by what they build and the impact they have — not where they sit in an org chart or what title they have. Therefore, everyone in our R&D org holds the title Member of Technical Staff (MoTS). Our job postings use standard titles so you can find us, but if you join Tutor, you'll be a MoTS — with a level that is determined through the interview process.
That also means we hire people, not slots. Work at Tutor evolves every quarter, and we set the expectation of flexibility from day one — it's common for people to start on one thing and shift to another based on where the team needs them most. A high technical bar across the board is what makes that flexibility possible: it's what allows people to contribute meaningfully whatever problem they take on.
