The RoleTutor builds its own robots, and the hardware organization is about to get a lot bigger. Teams are growing, new teams are forming, and for the first time we are developing the next version of a robot while the current one ships. We are hiring engineering managers to run those teams.
Each team owns a piece of a robot: a mechanism, an electronics subsystem, a research platform, or a new version of something already in the field. The manager owns the people, the schedule, and the design decisions, and works with manufacturing from the first concept so that what the team designs can be built.
What You'll Do- Hire and run a team of hardware engineers, and grow them
- Take a subsystem from concept through design, prototype, test, and release to manufacturing
- Run your team's design reviews and make the calls that come out of them
- Work with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and field service on everything your team ships
- Work with the software and research teams that depend on your hardware, and that your hardware depends on
What We're Looking For- You were a strong engineer before you managed, and you have run a team of several engineers
- You have designed and shipped electromechanical products
- You have taken a design into manufacturing and lived with what happened next
- You still read the drawings
Nice to Have- Robots, or another product where mechanics, electronics, firmware, and software all have to work together
- Products built in volume
- Shipping one generation of a product while designing the next
Benefits- Fully employer-covered health insurance, so you're protected without the premium.
- A managed 401(k) to help you plan for the future.
- Generous time off: unlimited PTO and all federal holidays off for full-time salaried employees, and 16+ days of accrued paid time off plus 1.5x pay on federal holidays for hourly employees.
- Regular in-office meals and team social events throughout the year.
$180,000 - $420,000 a year
We're hiring at Senior or Staff level; the level is set by the interview. Senior: $180,000-$315,000. Staff: $240,000-$420,000.
About Our Roles & TitlesAt Tutor, we believe great engineers and researchers are defined by what they build and the impact they have - not where they sit in an org chart or what title they have. Therefore, everyone in our R&D org holds the title
Member of Technical Staff (MoTS). Our job postings use standard titles so you can find us, but if you join Tutor, you'll be a MoTS - with a level that is determined through the interview process.
That also means we hire people, not slots. Work at Tutor evolves every quarter, and we set the expectation of flexibility from day one - it's common for people to start on one thing and shift to another based on where the team needs them most. A high technical bar across the board is what makes that flexibility possible: it's what allows people to contribute meaningfully whatever problem they take on.
CompensationThe base salary range for this role is $190,000 to $300,000, depending on experience.
As Tutor grows, so will our benefits. We're continuing to invest in ways to support our team at work and beyond.
