The RoleTutor is hiring a Head of Hardware Engineering to lead the team that designs and builds our robots. Mechanical, electrical, firmware and embedded, and manufacturing engineering all report to this role. You set the hardware roadmap with the CTO, you grow the team, and you are responsible for every robot we ship working as designed and building at the rate we need. You report to the CTO.
The hardware organization will grow a lot, in people and in the range of products it covers. The person in this role builds the teams that make that happen, hires the people who lead them, and keeps the whole thing running well as it gets bigger.
Requirements- You have led and grown a hardware engineering organization to 50 or more people, and shipped a complex electromechanical product in volume through it
- You have led mechanical, electrical, and firmware or embedded engineers, and can hire and judge all three
- You have owned manufacturing engineering, or worked closely enough with it to build that team: process, test, fixtures, and design for manufacturing
- You have developed the managers who lead teams under you
- You have worked closely with a technical founder or CTO
Nice to haves- Robotics, actuators, or motion control
- Leading engineers in more than one country
- Taking a product from first prototype to production at rate
- Working with contract manufacturers and overseas suppliers
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.
$250,000 - $350,000 a year
About Our Roles & TitlesEveryone in our R&D organization, including the people who lead it, holds the title Member of Technical Staff (MoTS). Our job postings use standard titles so you can find us. If you join Tutor, you'll be a MoTS who runs hardware engineering. Head of Hardware Engineering is how you'll be known outside the company, because building the team means being legible to the people you're recruiting. In an ideal world everyone here would simply be a MoTS; external titles exist only where the outside world needs them.
CompensationThe base salary range for this role is $250,000 to $350,000, 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.
