Hardware Test Engineer

About the role

About Tutor Intelligence Tutor Intelligence builds and deploys AI-powered robots that do real work for customers across the US every day, palletizing and case picking in warehouses and factories. We believe general-purpose, generally intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. In 2026 we opened our first manufacturing facility in Watertown, MA, and our goal is 1,000+ robots across multiple platforms in the field by 2028.   Why This Role Matters Every robot we ship goes to work at a customer's site, and a failure there costs us far more than one caught on our floor. As we scale, test can't be a final checkbox. It has to be a system that keeps defects from escaping and turns every failure, in the factory or in the field, into a fix.   The Role You'll define how we test our robots and their critical components, from incoming parts through final acceptance, and how we test parts that come back from the field. You'll use manufacturing and field failure data to tell Manufacturing and Engineering what's breaking, why, and what to change. You're part of Production Engineering and work closely with the Lead Hardware Engineer – Production, who sets overall test strategy and mentors the team. You'll be on the floor debugging robots, building test systems and helping improve the manufacturing process.
