Head of Quality

About Tutor

We believe robots should be the next chapter in making physical labor safer and more affordable. But, nearly nine out of ten American factories and warehouses don’t have a single robot. Tutor Intelligence is changing that.

We build robots that go straight into real factories and warehouses, to do real work, with real impact. Our robot Cassie does back-breaking work, moving boxes, pallets, and bulk goods for family-owned manufacturers to some of the largest brands in the world. Our robot Sonny does handwork, using two arms to achieve human-like dexterity in picking and packing. Every robot learns on the job, and each one we deploy makes the next one more capable, more affordable, and faster to put to work.

Founded at MIT and headquartered in Watertown, MA, we do it all in-house: the robotics hardware, the machine learning, and the field deployment and service. 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.

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.

The Role

Tutor is hiring a Head of Quality to lead quality as a function, alongside the Head of Manufacturing. You own the quality system, supplier quality across our supply base, product safety certifications, and the quality targets the company holds itself to. The quality engineers and the quality manager report to you, and you grow the team from there. You report to the CTO. As our operations organization grows, you and the Head of Manufacturing will report to the leader of that organization.

This is a building role. The first pieces, incoming inspection, supplier controls and failure analysis, are being put in place by the team you will lead. Your job is to turn them into a system that holds as production grows, a supplier base we can trust, and a quality record that customers and certifying bodies can verify. You have the authority to hold any shipment that is not right.
