## Job description

The Company Tutor Intelligence is building the technology and processes to let robots go where they’ve never gone before: the average American factory and warehouse. We understand that general-purpose and generally intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes, and we’re not content to sit on the sidelines.

Founded by MIT alumni and backed with over $40M in funding by leading investors in AI and robotics, Tutor combines human and artificial intelligence to build something greater than the sum of its parts — a Tutor Intelligence. As an AI software company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, every line of code, process change, and decision at Tutor has a direct impact on the physical economy. We’re seeking thinkers, builders, and operators who want to help deliver the future of automation.

## The Role

As a Deployment Manager at Tutor Intelligence, you will own the customer experience from the moment a deal closes through successful on-site robot deployment and early post-launch stabilization. You will work directly and independently with customer engineering, operations, IT, and facilities teams to prepare their sites for automation, manage the systems' arrival, installation, and setup, and ensure deployments launch smoothly and on schedule.

This is a highly ownership-driven, customer-facing role at the intersection of operations, robotics, and enterprise environments. You will act as the single point of accountability during deployment, identifying risks early, driving resolution, and ensuring customers are confident and ready before handing off to Customer Success.

## What You’ll Do

- Serve as the primary point of contact for customer operations, IT, facilities, and other stakeholders during deployment, owning the period from post-sale kickoff through launch and stabilization
- Coordinate physical layout, workflows, networking, access, and operational constraints
- Plan and manage deployment timelines, delivery schedules, and internal and external dependencies
- Identify risks, gaps, and blockers early, and drive resolution across internal and external teams
- Work closely with Sales, Operations, Engineering, and Customer Success to ensure smooth handoffs and clear accountability
- Operate effectively in ambiguous, non-standard customer environments where processes are still evolving
- Drive continuous improvement of Tutor’s deployment playbooks and processes

## Who You Are

- 2+ years of experience in a customer-facing role within robotics, manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, or industrial environments
- Prior exposure to robotics, automation systems, MES, WMS, or industrial IT environments
- Experience coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder projects in operational or production settings
- Comfortable handling issues as they arise, including delays, changing requirements, and difficult conversations
- Bias toward ownership, accountability, and getting things done in imperfect, real-world conditions

Nice to Haves

- Experience as an industrial, mechanical, or automation engineer (formal education or on-the-job experience)
- Prior time spent working with scaling startups or in deep-tech companies

## Compensation & Benefits

- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Fully employer-covered health and dental insurance
- 401(k)
- Unlimited PTO
- Regular in-office meals and team events
- A collaborative, low-ego environment where people are trusted to do their best work

Culture We believe something special happens when talented, motivated people work together with respect and low ego. At Tutor, every team member is empowered to have real impact and is trusted to take ownership of meaningful problems. We value technical excellence, intellectual honesty, collaboration, and thoughtful urgency.

## About Tutor Intelligence

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Tutor Intelligence builds AI-powered robot workers for manufacturing and logistics, deploying intelligent physical automation that adapts to dynamic industrial environments.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A, total funding $78.7M)
- **Headquarters**: Watertown, Massachusetts, USA
- **Founded**: 2021 (earliest corporate round)
- **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
- **Key Metric**: Total funding $78.7M (latest round: $40.5M venture round in June 2025; Series A $34M in December 2025 led by Union Square Ventures and Fundomo)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Union Square Ventures, Fundomo; partners with world’s largest 3PLs and brands (deployed in dozens of factories and warehouses)
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 278.8% YoY to 69 employees (as of early 2026); 38 active job postings; monthly job postings up 40.7%; expanding into humanoid robotics with Sonny; offices across US, India, Canada, Portugal, South Africa.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deployment speed**: Robots are operational "in days" without changes to existing infrastructure – reads pallet specs like human workers.
- **Flexible pricing**: Per-hour ($14/hr) or per-pick models with no contract lock-in, lowering cost of fulfillment by 20%+.
- **AI-first approach**: Robots learn from human interaction in real environments, continuously improving via an intelligence platform.
- **Proven real-world impact**: Already deployed across dozens of facilities for major brands, not just pilots.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale deployments of Cassie across more warehouses and factories.
- Launch Sonny humanoid robot in late 2026 for complex manual tasks.
- Continue advancing physical AI research (founded out of MIT CSAIL) to expand robot capabilities into new industries.
- Grow the fleet and per-pick pricing model to capture more of the B2B logistics workflow.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Fast-paced startup with deep roots in MIT CSAIL research – a blend of cutting-edge AI/robotics and real-world industrial impact.
- **Work model**: On-site in Watertown, MA (employees work from physical offices). Offices also in India, Canada, Portugal, South Africa.
- **Growth**: 278% YoY headcount growth, 38 open roles across engineering, research, sales, and operations – strong upward mobility.
- **Roles**: Robotics engineers, perception engineers, full-stack developers, research scientists, field technicians, account executives, and more.
- **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but emphasis on 24/7 remote support, always-on AI improvements, and no contract lock-in suggests a team that values reliability and customer success.
- **Engineering culture**: Focus on solving hardest problems in machine intelligence; teams work at the edge of AI, robotics, and operations.
