Tutor Intelligence is building the technology and processes to let robots go where they’ve never gone before: the average American factory and warehouse. We understand that general-purpose and generally intelligent robots are going to be built in our lifetimes, and we’re not content to sit on the sidelines.
Founded by MIT alumni and backed with over $40M in funding by leading investors in AI and robotics, Tutor combines human and artificial intelligence to build something greater than the sum of its parts — a Tutor Intelligence. As an AI software company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, every line of code, process change, and decision at Tutor has a direct impact on the physical economy.
The Role
We're looking for a technically credible, customer-oriented engineering thinker to own a portfolio of customer sites running Tutor robots in production. You'll be the primary partner for each of your sites — the person their operations, engineering, and maintenance teams trust when something matters — and you'll be accountable for the operational and technical success of those deployments over time. This is not a traditional Customer Success role, and it's not a product engineering role either. You won't be writing application code, designing novel robotic applications, or doing core feature development. What you will do is develop deep working knowledge of our systems, diagnose issues across software, mechanical, and process dimensions in your customers' real-world environments, and partner with engineering to execute technical improvements that make your customers successful. The work is genuinely technical — you need to understand how our robots work well enough to be the credible technical voice on the customer side — but the goal is to help customers operationally and technically utilize the product we've built, not to extend it. The role is also genuinely relationship-driven. The customers in your portfolio will know you, trust you, and call you first when they need help. You'll spend meaningful time on-site at your facilities, remote time on technical diagnosis and tuning, and ongoing time partnering with your customers' engineering and operations leaders. Internally, you'll work alongside our engineering, support, and maintenance teams, and your insights from the field will directly shape our product roadmap. This role sits at the intersection of robotics, operations, and customer partnership. The right person is energized by all three.
Responsibilities
- Own a portfolio of customer sites end-to-end: be the primary technical partner for each, build deep trust with their operations, engineering, and maintenance teams, and be accountable for the operational and technical success of those deployments
- Develop deep working knowledge of our robot systems — software, hardware, and operational characteristics — sufficient to diagnose issues credibly and partner with engineering on resolution
- Diagnose and resolve operational and technical issues in your customers' real-world environments, working through software configuration, mechanical adjustments, process changes, and root-cause analysis
- Partner with our engineering team to execute technical improvements that benefit your customers — bringing context, prioritization, and field validation, rather than writing the code yourself
- Track the health and performance of your assigned fleet — uptime, reliability, throughput, customer satisfaction — and proactively act on signals
- Translate field reality into product insights for our engineering and product teams; be the voice of your customers in our internal roadmap conversations
- Partner with Account Executives on expansion conversations where customer success creates natural opportunities for growth
Requirements
- 2–5+ years of experience in a technical customer-facing role: applications engineering, field engineering, robotics deployment, solutions engineering, technical account management, or similar
- Technical depth in at least one of: robotics, industrial automation, controls, mechatronics, manufacturing systems, or warehouse/logistics technology
- Comfort working hands-on with both software and physical systems, especially in real-world operational environments
- Aptitude for developing deep working knowledge of complex technical systems built by others — you don't need to build it from scratch, you need to understand it deeply enough to diagnose, tune, and improve outcomes
- Genuine relationship orientation — you take pride in being trusted by customers over time, not just in delivering projects
- Strong communication skills; able to be technically credible with customer engineering and ops teams, and clear with non-technical operators and leaders
- Willingness to spend meaningful time on-site at customer facilities
Nice to haves (zero or more)
- Direct experience deploying or supporting robotics in production environments
- Background in warehouse, manufacturing, or other industrial operations
- Experience working closely with engineering teams to diagnose and resolve technical issues — bringing field context to engineering decisions
- Deep interest in robotics, automation, or the future of physical AI
Why This Role Is Unique
- Work at the intersection of cutting-edge robotics and real-world industrial operations, helping bring advanced AI systems into factories and warehouses
- Own the success of real customers running real robots in production — your work directly determines whether the future of physical AI happens in their facility
- Join Tutor during a period of rapid growth and expanding deployments, where this function plays a central role in scaling our fleet
- Help build and shape what this function looks like at Tutor, working closely with engineering, product, and operations teams

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Customer Engineer
Align your credentials to U.S. engineering definitions
TN visa approval for Customer Engineers hinges on your degree field matching the role's technical scope. A Computer Science or Electrical Engineering degree strengthens your case far more than a general IT credential, even if your work history is identical.
Target employers with dedicated immigration support teams
Customer Engineer roles at enterprise software and cloud infrastructure companies regularly involve cross-border hires. Prioritize employers with in-house HR teams experienced with work visa sponsorship, since they'll understand the TN visa requirements and can prepare your support letter and offer letter correctly from the start.
Use Migrate Mate to find TN-eligible employer roles
Searching broadly wastes time when most postings don't specify visa support. Migrate Mate filters Customer Engineer jobs by employers with recent visa filings, so you're applying where visa sponsorship experience is already established and understood.
Request an offer letter that specifies engineering duties precisely
CBP officers evaluate TN eligibility at the border based on the offer letter's language. Generic titles like 'technical consultant' raise flags. Your letter should describe specific systems architecture, implementation, or integration work tied to your engineering background.
Prepare credential equivalency documentation if your degree is foreign
If your engineering degree was issued outside Canada or Mexico, a credential evaluation from a recognized body confirms U.S. equivalency. CBP doesn't require it in every case, but having it removes a common point of entry delay for international graduates.
Understand the Mexican consular appointment timeline before accepting an offer
Unlike Canadians, Mexican nationals must schedule a consular interview through a U.S. embassy or consulate, which can add several weeks to the start date. Factor that window into your offer negotiation so your employer sets a realistic onboarding timeline.
Customer Engineer TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Customer Engineer role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, if the position falls under the USMCA's Engineer category. The job duties must involve applying engineering principles to customer-facing technical work, such as systems integration, solution architecture, or infrastructure deployment. Roles that are primarily sales support or account management without a clear engineering component may not qualify. Your degree in an engineering or computer science discipline needs to align directly with what the job requires.
How does TN compare to H-1B for Customer Engineers?
TN has no lottery, no annual cap for Canadians, and no petition waiting period. A Canadian Customer Engineer with a qualifying offer can often start within days. H-1B visa requires registration in a lottery, a months-long USCIS adjudication process, and an October 1 start date. For Customer Engineers whose roles clearly fit the USMCA Engineer category, TN is almost always the faster path to beginning work.
What documents do I need to apply for TN status as a Customer Engineer?
You'll need a valid Canadian or Mexican passport, a detailed offer letter from your U.S. employer describing your engineering duties and confirming the position is temporary, and proof of your engineering or computer science degree. A credential evaluation is useful if your degree was earned outside North America. Canadian nationals present these directly to CBP at the port of entry. Mexican nationals submit them as part of their consular visa application.
How do I find Customer Engineer jobs where employers understand TN sponsorship?
Many job postings don't specify which visa types an employer supports, which makes it hard to know where to apply. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this: it surfaces Customer Engineer roles at employers with documented TN sponsorship activity, so you spend time on applications that are actually viable rather than discovering late in the process that an employer has never sponsored a TN hire.
Can I switch Customer Engineer employers while on TN status?
Yes, but TN status is employer-specific. You can't begin work with a new employer until you have a new TN approval tied to that employer's offer. Canadian nationals can often handle this at the border with the new offer letter. Mexican nationals need to schedule a new consular appointment. Plan your transition timing carefully so there's no gap between your last day with the current employer and your new TN taking effect.
