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 in Tutor
Frame your credentials for specialty occupation
TN visa eligibility for tutoring turns on whether your role ties to a recognized professional category. A degree in education, linguistics, or a subject-specific field strengthens your case that the position requires professional-level expertise, not general instruction.
Target institutions with recent visa sponsorship experience
Universities, community colleges, and K-12 supplemental programs regularly sponsor work visa professionals and already understand visa sponsorship processes. Organizations with no prior experience sponsoring work visas often slow offers down while legal teams research sponsorship obligations for the first time.
Search TN-sponsoring employers through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter tutor and educational services roles by employers with active TN visa sponsorship history. This cuts out the step of cold-testing whether a hiring manager understands TN eligibility requirements before you apply.
Get your support letter ready for your border appointment
Canadian citizens can seek TN status at a land port of entry, but CBP officers will need to see a support letter from your employer. Your employer should prepare this letter in advance and have it ready when you apply, as CBP will review it to confirm your role meets TN eligibility requirements.
Clarify part-time versus full-time status upfront
TN status ties to a specific employer and role description. If your tutoring work is part-time or split across multiple clients, each engagement may require its own TN documentation, which changes what your employer needs to prepare before sponsorship is complete.
Prepare a clear degree-to-role alignment letter
CBP officers review your TN packet at entry. A one-page letter from your employer explicitly connecting your academic credentials to the tutor role's required qualifications reduces the chance of a secondary inspection or request for additional documentation.
Tutor TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a tutor role actually qualify for TN visa status?
It depends on how the role is defined. Tutoring tied to a professional-level occupation, such as an educational consultant or a subject-matter specialist in sciences, engineering, or languages, can qualify under the USMCA's teacher or other recognized categories. A general test-prep tutor with no degree requirement attached to the role is less likely to meet the specialty occupation threshold CBP applies at adjudication.
How does TN compare to H-1B for tutor and educational services roles?
TN has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadians, which gives you a direct path to authorization that H-1B visa cannot guarantee. Canadian professionals can obtain TN status the same day at a land port of entry, while H-1B requires months of waiting and selection by random draw. Mexican nationals face a TN allocation limit, but even that process moves faster than the H-1B registration cycle. For tutoring roles that meet the professional criteria, TN is typically the faster and more predictable route.
What documents does my employer need to sponsor my TN visa as a tutor?
Your employer must prepare a support letter describing the tutoring role, your duties, the professional qualifications required, and the intended duration of employment. You bring your degree credentials and the employer's support letter to your CBP interview (if Canadian) or consular appointment (if Mexican). The process is straightforward—no government labor filings are required for TN status.
Where can I find tutor jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Most general job boards don't filter by visa sponsorship type, so Canadian and Mexican professionals waste significant time applying to roles where employers won't sponsor TN status. Migrate Mate is built specifically for USMCA professionals and lets you search tutor and educational services roles by employers with recent visa filings, so you're reaching out to organizations already experienced with work visa sponsorship and positioned to move forward.
Can I tutor for multiple employers on a single TN visa?
TN status is employer-specific. Each employer who wants to use your services must be listed on your TN documentation, or you need a separate TN entry tied to that employer. Working for an employer not covered by your current TN approval puts your status at risk. If you plan to work with multiple schools or clients, discuss concurrent TN filings with each sponsoring organization before you begin.
