Job description
About Tutor
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.
The Role
Tutor Intelligence is seeking a robot electrical engineer to ideate, prototype, iterate, deploy, and scale up new robot electrical systems. This mostly comes down to power electronics and PCB design, with a whole bunch of firmware.
Example projects you might work on:
Motor control boards
Power distribution boards
Battery management systems
Actuator selection and integration
Sensor selection and integration
Requirements
Experience with PCBs and/or power electronics
Built a lot of stuff
Likes to design hardware
Creative
Can push projects forward
Can learn / figure out pretty much anything
Why Tutor?
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.

Fully employer-covered health insurance, so you’re protected without the premium.
