We are looking for a Robotics Perception Engineer with minimum 3 years of experience to own and build the low-level sensor pipeline that powers Tutor Intelligences next-generation VLA-driven robots. Were looking for a strong software engineer who has worked hands-on with real robotic hardware (cameras LiDARs sensors actuators) and can ensure that data from a suite of six 30fps RGBD cameras and 3D LiDARs is processed accurately performantly and reliably. Youll be taking critical work directly off the lead engineers plate owning the full pipeline from sensor input to application logic and data storage. If youve worked in autonomous vehicles defense robotics or any fast-moving robotics environment and love building systems that cant afford to fail this role is for you.
Role highlights:
This company builds AI-powered robotics for industrial automation dropping robots into real factories and warehouses at 10x lower cost than legacy players.
Backed by $40M from top investors and founded by MIT alumni youll work on VLAs and cutting-edge perception tech thats actually deployed in the real world not just a lab.

Role is onsite in Watertown MA five days a week.
Salary range is $125000 to $200000 with competitive equity options.
Timeline and Urgency
The Interview process includes a take-home challenge a Zoom interview and an onsite visit.
Immediate focus on hiring to allow team leads to delegate responsibilities and focus on other tasks.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Prefer candidates with startup experience who have exposure to both hardware and software integration.
Looking for generalists who can handle a range of tasks and have a keen interest in robotics.
Role Requirements: XR Applications Engineer
Developing VR applications for robot control improving user perception and robot task performance.
High-impact role requiring performance optimization of existing applications.
Candidate Requirements: XR Applications Engineer
Open to new grads; must know React and Python with an interest in game development as a plus.
VR or teleoperation systems for robotics are ideal backgrounds.
Pain Points and Hiring Motivation
Current workload handled by team leads; new hires will alleviate pressure and allow focus on other projects.
Critical for maintaining system performance and application improvements.
Visa Sponsorship
Visa sponsorship is available; no relocation bonuses but signing bonuses may be offered.
Role requirements
Minimum 2 - 5 years of experience building software for real robotic or autonomous systems with hands-on hardware integration across sensors cameras LiDARs robot arms grippers or similar physical systems in Python or C.
Work experience
Has owned software integration with real robotic hardware end-to-end including debugging across sensors hardware application logic and production/runtime issues.
Experience at a sensor-heavy robotics autonomous vehicle defense robotics or field robotics company where reliability of real-world perception/sensor pipelines mattered.
Startup or small-team robotics experience where they owned messy cross-functional problems across hardware software sensors and deployment.
Education
BS/MS in CS Robotics EE ME or related technical field from a strong technical university or equivalent hands-on robotics experience.
Hard skills
Proficient in C and/or Python for low-level performance-critical systems code
Hands-on experience with RGBD cameras LiDAR point clouds sensor calibration SLAM or multi-sensor robotics perception pipelines.
Comfortable using AI coding tools productively and open to AI-assisted engineering workflows.
Miscellaneous
Must be onsite 5 days/week in Watertown MA no remote option
Visa sponsorship available; no relocation bonus (signing bonus possible)
