Mechanical Engineer (Robotics)

About the Role

We are looking for someone who can own the entirety of a robot, or potentially 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 involve designing and prototyping. Some will require collaborating with members of different teams to ensure we build the right thing. Some will involve 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 can certainly 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 environments where things come to life in weeks or months—clubs, teams, startups, labs—places where you can appreciate what a relatively small, talented team can do when motivated and excited.

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 they do. We’re characterized by both technical excellence and next-level collaboration and respect.

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 hold. Everyone in our R&D org holds the title Member of Technical Staff (MoTS). Our job postings use standard titles for visibility, but if you join Tutor, you'll be a MoTS with a level determined through the interview process. We hire people, not slots, and work evolves every quarter. Flexibility is expected from day one, and it’s common for people to shift focus based on team needs. A high technical bar across the board enables this flexibility, allowing people to contribute meaningfully to any problem they take on.

• Managed 401(k)
• Regular in-office meals
• Social events and a collaborative, low-ego work culture where people are trusted to take ownership and solve real problems
