We understand that general-purpose and generally intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes, and we’re combining human and artificial intelligence to lead the charge. As an MIT-founded AI software company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, every role at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy. ## Role summary We’re looking for an ambitious, externally-facing generalist to help drive commercialization on our flagship product — Cassie. Technical aptitude prefered. In this role, you’ll be responsible for the business growth of the Cassie product lines and will be leading high-leverage threads that shape the company's future: identifying adjacent markets to expand into, developing partnerships, collaborating with financing sources, and helping leadership turn loose ideas into executable opportunities. This is a creative, fast-paced role heavy on communication, persuasion, and structured problem-solving. You’ll spend most of your time talking to external stakeholders, crafting narratives, selling possibilities, writing a massive volume of clear communication, and keeping complex exploratory threads on track. Not a process role, not an internal analyst role — this is closer to venture creation inside a robotics company. Responsibilities: - Own the product roadmap and communicate the sequence of markets we will expand into over time. - Do technical solutioning (mostly hardware reasoning but sometimes software reasoning) and sales as needed -- reason through technical customer requirements and thinking through high-level engineering ways to solve them or work around them. - Own the financial fundamentals of the product line (P&L, unit economics, margins, etc.) - Coordinate with customers, partners, investors, vendors, and domain experts to move conversations and projects forward. - Gather technical input from engineering teams and translate it into clear external communication and realistic opportunity framing. - Maintain momentum across multiple threads through structured communication, scheduling, and consistent follow-through. - Produce a high volume of clear written communication, including emails, briefs, one-pagers, and meeting recaps. - Identify creative angles and approaches to advance new product concepts, partnerships, or commercial opportunities. - Support leadership on high-impact special projects that span commercial, product, and strategic domains. Requirements: - Math, physics, engineering degree - 1–4 years in a fast-paced environment (consulting, VC, IB, startup, strategy, technical, or similar). - Technical background: engineering degree/minor or technical coursework preferred, not required. - Strong client-facing instincts: able to sell, persuade, negotiate, and build relationships with external stakeholders. - Exceptionally organized, capable of managing many concurrent threads without losing track. - Excellent written communication: concise, precise, high-volume email and message writing. - Creative and entrepreneurial mindset; ability to ideate, frame opportunities, and navigate ambiguity. - High ownership and reliability; comfortable taking vague ideas and structuring them into concrete next steps. ## 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. ## Sources 1.
