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 leaders who want to be part of that loop.
Founded by MIT alumni and backed by over $40M from leading AI and robotics investors, we deploy real robotic systems directly into the facilities that power the physical economy. We don't just build robots — we build them, ship them, and keep them running.
Sonny is Tutor's two-armed, human-like robot worker built for the warehouse. Powered by Tutor's own AI, Sonny can move through a facility on its own, pick items off shelves, and deliver completed orders — no programming required. Its first job is e-commerce order picking, with kitting and packaging work coming next. Sonny is built in Watertown, MA, and you'll supervise the line that builds it.
We're looking for a Production Supervisor to lead the day-to-day operation of the Sonny V2 production line. You'll directly supervise a team of assembly and test technicians to deliver high-quality robots to our customers, on plan, and you'll build the spare-parts (FRU) kits that keep the deployed fleet running.
This role reports to the Head of Manufacturing and Supply Chain.
Sonny ramps in Q2 2027. You'll join early, embedded with the Hardware and Production Engineering teams through the prototype and pre-production builds, and come out of them as the manufacturing organization's Sonny product expert — the person who knows every subassembly, every failure mode, and how to build the robot right. From there you'll turn prototype builds into repeatable procedures and grow the team from a handful of contract techs into a production cell that hits rate. This is a floor-first role — you'll spend your day on the line, building alongside your team when needed, not behind a desk.
You've run a floor before and you know the job is people first, process second, and the numbers follow.
You want to know the product cold — not just how to build it, but why it's built that way and what breaks when it isn't.
You don't wait for a perfect process — you build with what's in front of you and improve it every week.
You treat a missed build target as a problem to solve, not a status to report.
You're calm when the BOM changes on a Tuesday, because you planned for it on Monday.
Most importantly, you want to be the person who built the line that put Sonny into the world.
Tutor was founded to build the intelligence that lets machines see, learn, and act alongside people in the most complex, real-world production environments. Our teams work at the edge of AI, robotics, and operations to embody robotic systems with humans’ intuitive understanding of the physical world and how to interact with it.
