Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer (Robotics & Electromechanical Systems)

Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer – Robotics

Boston, MA | Seaport District | On-site

This is not a desk job. This is a build-it, break-it, fix-it, own-it role.

At Tutor Intelligence, we design and deploy real robots that work every day in real warehouses. They lift weight, run cycles, fail in interesting ways, and get better because engineers like you take ownership.

We’re looking for a Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer who wants to design products and the way those products are built. Someone who wants to walk the line, design the fixture, tighten the bolts, update the drawing, and ship something they’re proud of.

If you like seeing your work go from CAD → fixture → robot → customer site, this role is for you.

What You’ll Actually Do

You’ll sit at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and reality.

You will:

• Design fixtures, jigs, assembly tools, test setups, and production hardware — then build and use them
• Work hands-on with robots: assembly, alignment, cable routing, mechanical tuning, and troubleshooting
• Own mechanical issues from root cause → design change → production fix
• Improve parts for DFM/DFA, tolerance robustness, reliability, and scalability
• Create and maintain BOMs, drawings, and production documentation in PLM
• Support prototype builds, NPI, ECOs, and pilot production
• Partner tightly with Electrical, Software, Manufacturing, and Field teams to close feedback loops
• Improve the factory itself: layouts, workflows, takt time, repeatability, and error-proofing

You might be a great fit if you:

• Have a BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering
• Have 2 years in robotics, automation, electromechanical systems, hardware, or manufacturing environments
• Are strong in SolidWorks or Onshape (assemblies, drawings, real-world design)
• Can design fixtures, brackets, housings, and test equipment and see them through to build
• Understand GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, fasteners, materials, machining, and structural mechanics
• Are comfortable doing hands-on work on the floor, not just reviewing slides
• Enjoy debugging mechanical problems: alignment, wear, preload, vibration, fatigue, tolerances
• Care deeply about ownership, quality, and continuous improvement

Bonus points if you’ve worked with:

• Electromechanical systems and PCBA packaging
• Cable management and pneumatic routing
• Writing clear, production-ready work instructions

Why This Role Matters

You won’t be “supporting” manufacturing — you’ll be shaping it.

The right person in this role will:

• Raise the mechanical quality bar across the company
• Help scale production without sacrificing reliability
• Directly influence how our robots are built, serviced, and improved
• Leave behind systems, fixtures, and processes that outlast them

This is a chance to build something real, in a hands-on robotics company, with a team that values engineers who take pride in what they ship.

The Details

• Location: Boston, MA (Seaport) – on-site, hands-on work
• Employment Type: Full-time
• Level: Early to mid-career (but impact > title)

If you want a job where your work lives in CAD forever, this isn’t it.

If you want a job where you can point at a robot and say “I built that”, we should talk.
