About the Role
At Tutor, our robots are operating in customer facilities across North America every day. When a robot goes down, customers feel it immediately.
Our Maintenance and Field Service team is responsible for keeping those systems running, supporting customers, and providing the feedback that helps make our products better.
This role sits at the intersection of Robotics, Operations, Manufacturing, and Engineering. You will troubleshoot complex robotic systems, perform repairs and upgrades, support deployments, and work directly with customers to maximize uptime and performance.
Your work in the field will directly influence future product design, reliability improvements, and how we scale our fleet from dozens of robots today to hundreds and eventually thousands.
If you are the person everyone calls when something breaks, we want to talk to you.
