Job summary

Tutor Intelligence, Inc. builds AI robotics systems in Watertown, MA, and seeks an engineer to own complex electrical subsystems from requirements and architecture through PCB design, bring-up, and integration on our robotics platform.

You will partner with mechanical, software, and research engineers to make experimental hardware robust, measurable, and easy to reproduce, delivering BOMs, harness documentation, firmware interfaces, and acceptance tests for reliable handoff.

Qualifications

• Evidence of independently owning a complex electrical subsystem, including designing a PCB and bringing it through fabrication, bring-up, and integration.
• Strong practical analog and digital fundamentals, power electronics, and signal integrity.
• Confidence using oscilloscopes, multimeters, bench supplies, and other measurement tools to test hypotheses and diagnose failures.
• Experience connecting sensors or actuators to microcontrollers, embedded compute, or control software.
• Ability to reason about grounding, noise, protection, thermal limits, and failure modes in an assembled system.
• Ability to communicate tradeoffs, resolve cross-disciplinary interfaces, and document designs and measurements for others.

Responsibilities

• Define electrical requirements, architecture, interface contracts, and validation plans for robot subsystems.
• Design schematics and PCB layouts; select components and manage prototyping, fabrication, assembly, and revisions.
• Design power distribution, grounding, protection, connectors, and harnesses appropriate to motors, sensors, and embedded compute.
• Integrate sensors, actuators, and motor controllers, including embedded interfaces and bring-up firmware as needed.
• Use bench measurements and repeatable tests to isolate faults, including intermittent noise, power, and communication failures.
• Validate electrical behavior on the assembled robot and resolve integration risks with mechanical and software colleagues.
• Deliver design files, bills of materials, harness documentation, firmware interfaces, and acceptance tests; own reliability improvements after handoff.
