## Job description

## About Tutor

We believe robots are the biggest lever we have to making the physical world a better, more affordable place. But robots are a rounding error in our society: nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t even have a single robot, and robots have yet to make their way into our homes or places of business. Tutor Intelligence is changing that. Tutor is a robotics research and deployment company, building generally capable robot hardware and artificial intelligence to enable robots to go where no robots have gone before. Sonny is a semi-humanoid robot with frontier dexterity approaching the human form. Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for businesses from family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Tutor robots are manufactured at scale and operate as a network, combining the whole fleet’s learned experience to train ever more capable robot artificial intelligence. Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, our team is full stack: we design and manufacture robot hardware, train our own models, work directly with the smallest and largest end-customers, and maintain our fleet across the United States. 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.

Tutor Intelligence builds and deploys autonomous palletizing and case-pick robots at customer facilities across the US. Our Watertown, MA manufacturing facility is scaling production of our Cassie robot toward 1,000+ robots by 2028, and we're looking for a Production Supervisor to lead the Cassie assembly and test line.

## The Role

You'll lead a team of assembly and test technicians building the Cassie robot subassemblies. You'll own daily output, quality, and safety, and you'll help build the processes our scale-up depends on. This is a working leadership role: you'll be on the floor and jump in with the team when needed. You'll report to the Head of Manufacturing.

## What You'll Do

- Lead, schedule and develop a team of production technicians to hit daily and weekly Cassie build targets
- Own line performance: throughput, first-pass yield, on-time delivery and labor efficiency
- Run daily start-up meetings, track KPIs, and escalate risks early
- Drive root cause and corrective action on build and test failures with Production Engineering
- Create and maintain work instructions, standard work and visual management
- Bring engineering changes (ECOs) onto the line on schedule without disrupting output
- Enforce safety, ESD and 5S standards, plus traceability in our MES (ION)
- Hire, cross-train and coach technicians, and build future leads
- Lead a shift independently and hand off cleanly to the other shift supervisor as we move to two shifts
- Train and certify new and contract technicians quickly using standard work, skills matrices and sign-offs
- Make sure every ECO and redline is posted at the station, briefed to the team, and verified across all robots in WIP
- Own shift attendance and expectations, holding the team accountable fairly and consistently
- Take field and test defects back to the line, correct the cause, and confirm the fix on every affected robot

## What You Bring

- 3+ years supervising technicians in electromechanical assembly (robotics, automation or capital equipment preferred)
- Hands-on with mechanical assembly, cable harnesses, and basic electrical troubleshooting and test; willing to jump in on the line alongside the team
- A track record of improving a line, not just running one, and building processes where none exist yet
- A quality-first mindset: you protect first-pass yield and will stop the line when something is wrong
- Working knowledge of Lean methods and structured problem solving (5 Whys, fishbone, 8D)
- Comfort with an MES/ERP and managing by data
- A people developer who gives direct feedback and grows their team
- Clear communicator who works well with Engineering and Supply Chain and stays calm under pressure
- Experience leading a large contract or temporary workforce through high turnover
- Able to spot workmanship defects such as bad crimps, swapped wires and poor strain relief, and willing to stop a robot from moving forward until it is right
- Comfortable working a second shift

## Nice to Have

- Experience at a startup or on a new production line ramp
- Lean Six Sigma certification
- Experience with industrial robot arms or mobile robots
- IPC/WHMA-A-620 or IPC-A-610 certification
- A degree or certification in a technical field

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.

- **Founders**: Josh Gruenstein (CEO) and Alon Kosowsky-Sachs (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Industrial Automation, Logistics & Warehousing
- Target customers: B2B – manufacturing plants, warehouses, 3PLs, and large-scale industrial operations (Enterprise)
- Mission or purpose statement: "To build fundamental AI technology to enable generally capable robot workers and partner with industry to deploy them" – solving the hardest problems in physical machine intelligence.

## Products & Services
- **[Cassie](https://tutorintelligence.com/)**: A purpose-built robot for material handling – palletizing, depalletizing, and case picking. Deployed in days, handles unlimited SKUs, works 24/7 with a simple tablet interface. Pricing starts at $14/hour per robot or per-pick models.
- **[Sonny](https://tutorintelligence.com/)**: A humanoid robot designed for the "messy middle" of manual labor – complex assembly, irregular tasks. Industrial-grade hardware, trained on internet-scale data. Available for deployment starting late 2026.
- **Platform & Fleet Management**: Full B2B logistics workflow automation (replen to picking to palletizing) with per-pick pricing, remote 24/7 support, and continuous AI improvements.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
