Job Description:
Job Description 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. 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 research engineer, your work lies at the center of this
challenge, building the AI algorithms and systems that drive novel
capabilities in the lab and in the field. 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 and
researchers shape their own roles to best tackle the frontier of
robotics development. Requirements Exceptionally strong programming
skills and comfort in one or more programming languages 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)

generous equity, fully covered health dental, and unlimited
PTO.
