The Company

Tutor Intelligence is building the technology and processes to let robots go where they've never gone before: the average American factory. We understand that general-purpose and generally-intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes, and we're combining human and artificial intelligence to lead the charge. As an AI software company who deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.

The Role

Are you tired of writing incremental code for massive CRUD web-apps? Do you want to build systems from the ground up that effect change in the physical world, not just the digital one? At Tutor, we are motivated by atoms not electrons : every line of code you write has a real world impact at the foundation of our global economy, solving the core technical problems to evolve humanity and society to the next level.

Tutor Intelligence builds software to enable ordinary robots to achieve extraordinary things. As a robotics software engineer, your work lies at the center of this challenge, orchestrating real time robot code, optimization systems for motion planning, machine learning systems, data labeling frontends, and optimizing compilers across a myriad of platforms. Our engineers flex up and down the robotics stack from microcontroller firmware to cloud infrastructure, charging at technical problems from any and all angles.

At the core, we are looking for motivated and curious individuals who have exceptionally strong programming fundamentals. Experience in specific technical stacks or with robotics/ML are helpful but not requirements: whatever shape your skill set is, Tutor engineers shape their own roles to best tackle the frontier of robotics development.

Requirements

• Exceptionally strong programming skills and comfort in any programming language
• Natural collaborator, excited to work closely around a whiteboard in a team setting
• Excited by the future full of robots and a reshaped physical economy
• Not afraid to step foot in a factory or a warehouse

Nice to haves (zero or more)

• Advanced proficiency with Python and/or Typescript + React
• Experience with robot arms / manipulation
• Experience with motion planning and robot optimization
• Experience with perception or computer vision (deep or classical)
• Experience with infra and devtools (systemd, Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with hardware / software integration

We're excited to be partnering with Tutor Intelligence , an ambitious robotics company pioneering the next era of factory automation. Backed by cutting-edge AI and a mission to bring intelligent automation to everyday industrial settings, Tutor is on a mission to redefine how robots work in the real world.

About the Company
Tutor Intelligence is developing systems that combine human and machine intelligence to unlock the potential of robotics in traditional manufacturing environments. Their platform enables general-purpose robots to perform complex tasks in dynamic, unstructured settings-a challenge few have attempted and even fewer have solved. Every deployment is directly tied to real-world impact, bridging the gap between software and physical systems.

The Opportunity
This is not your typical software role. At Tutor, engineers write code that interacts directly with the physical world-controlling real robots, planning motion trajectories, enabling perception, and building robust infrastructure to support real-time systems. If you're eager to move beyond standard web applications and want to tackle hard technical problems at the intersection of AI, robotics, and industrial automation, this could be a perfect fit.

You'll join a small, highly technical team where collaboration, curiosity, and strong programming fundamentals are key. Whether you're working on firmware, cloud infrastructure, or optimization pipelines, you'll be encouraged to shape your own role and dive deep across the robotics stack.

What We're Looking For

• Strong software engineering skills and fluency in at least one modern programming language
• Collaborative mindset-comfortable working in a team, iterating ideas at the whiteboard, and tackling ambiguous problems
• Excited by the physical world-unafraid to step into factories, test robots, and get hands-on with hardware
• Passion for the future of robotics and the role intelligent systems will play in reshaping the global economy

Bonus Experience (Nice to Have)

• Proficiency with Python and/or TypeScript + React
• Experience with robotic manipulation, motion planning, or optimization
• Background in computer vision, classical or deep learning-based
• Comfort with infrastructure tools like Docker, Kubernetes, or systemd
• Exposure to hardware/software integration or embedded systems

We understand that general purpose and generally intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes. Not content to sit on the sidelines, we work efficiently towards this goal by combining human and artificial intelligence into something greater than the sum of its parts- a Tutor Intelligence.

We enable anyone to teach robots complicated vision and manipulation skills. Our robots observe, copy, adapt, and improve on what we show them. They are the students, we are the Tutors.

The robot problems we tackle range from the classical to the unsolved. We solve problems in planning, computer vision, SLAM, optimization, machine learning, and more.

If this sounds like you, read on!

Across the board we write software to make our robots more capable, faster and safer. We work mostly in Python and Linux.

What follows is a list of things we find interesting. Depending on your passions, your role might fit one or all of the following.

Robot Vision

• Improving 2D and 3D sensing capabilities
• Building visual representations of the world
• Geometric perception
• Perception of seen and unseen objects
• Supervised learningSelf supervised learning

Robot Motion

• Control of robot arms
• Planning motion in the presence of obstacles
• Optimizing grasps and other basic manipulation primitives
• Motion planning
• Tools such as Drake, OMPL, KLAMPT, etc
• Multi roboti planning
