Senior Mechanical Engineer (Robotics) at Tutor Intelligence · Katori

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.

Our Culture

We believe that something truly special can happen when talented, motivated people work together; at Tutor, every member of our team is empowered to have real impact in everything that they do. We’re characterized by both technical excellence and next-level collaboration and respect.

What this role is

We are looking for someone who can own the entirety of a robot, or potential multiple different types of robots. In this role you will guide the work of other engineers, ensuring that development runs smoothly from napkin sketch through manufacturing and support.

Some of this work will be you designing and prototyping. Some of it will be working with members of different teams and ensuring we build the right thing. Some of it will be mentoring and guiding other engineers, growing them into leaders and owners.

This is a role for someone with strength in making things. You will be expected to know how every part of the robot works, and if you couldn't make it yourself, you certainly can figure out how one would and understand the tradeoffs involved.

This is a job for someone who appreciates fast and methodical hardware iteration. You have likely spent time in places where things come to life in weeks/months before -clubs/teams, startups, labs, places where you can appreciate what a relatively small, talented team can do when motivated and excited to do so.

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.
