Science & research jobs in Massachusetts

About the role

We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop. ** As an AI robotics company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy. Tutor Intelligence is using AI to learn from a large fleet of robots to do useful work in factories. As a research intern, your work lies at the center of this challenge, building the AI algorithms and systems that drive novel capabilities in the lab and in the field. This is a unique opportunity to see your work at scale in a fast-paced research organization developing and deploying novel robot learning algorithms on real hardware at massive scale. At the core, we are looking for motivated and curious individuals who have exceptionally strong programming fundamentals. Experience in specific technical stacks or with robotics/ML are helpful but not requirements: whatever shape your skill set is, Tutor engineers and researchers shape their own roles to best tackle the frontier of robotics development. We're looking for interns who can join us for 4-6 months to do substantial, impactful work, including work that culminates in a first author robotics paper.

What you'll bring

• Exceptionally strong programming skills
• You should have significant research experience, including first author publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences (e.g., ICRA)
• Natural collaborator, excited to work closely with a team of researchers and engineers
• Research experience, practiced at solving open-ended problems
• Excited to reshape the physical economy by filling factories with intelligent robots
• Not afraid to step foot in a factory or a warehouse
• Experience in specific technical stacks or with robotics/ML are helpful but not requirements: whatever shape your skill set is, Tutor engineers and researchers shape their own roles to best tackle the frontier of robotics development.
