Job description

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.

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.

About 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.

• 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

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.

$90,000 - $125,000 a year

Tutor offers competitive benefits including fully employer-covered health insurance, a managed 401(k), and regular in-office meals. We host social events and maintain a collaborative, low-ego work culture where people are trusted to take ownership and solve real problems. Tutor is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
