Tutor Intelligence is using AI to learn from a large fleet of robots to do useful work in factories. As a research intern, your work lies at the center of this challenge, building the AI algorithms and systems that drive novel capabilities in the lab and in the field. This is a unique opportunity to see your work at scale in a fast-paced research organization developing and deploying novel robot learning algorithms on real hardware at massive scale.
At the core, we are looking for motivated and curious individuals who have exceptionally strong programming fundamentals.
What you'd do
- Experience training and improving AI models, especially models used in robotics (e.g., diffusion policy)
- Advanced proficiency with Python
- Experience with robot arms / manipulation
- Experience with motion planning and robot optimization
- Experience with perception or computer vision (deep or classical)
- Experience with infra and devtools (systemd, Docker, Kubernetes)
What they want
- Exceptionally strong programming skills
- You should have significant research experience, including first author publications at top-tier peer-reviewed conferences (e.g., ICRA)
- Natural collaborator, excited to work closely with a team of researchers and engineers
- Research experience, practiced at solving open-ended problems
- Excited to reshape the physical economy by filling factories with intelligent robots
- Not afraid to step foot in a factory or a warehouse
About Tutor Intelligence · R&D - Research
At Tutor, we believe great engineers and researchers are defined by what they build and the impact they have — not where they sit in an org chart or what title they have. Therefore, everyone in our R&D org holds the title Member of Technical Staff (MoTS). Our job postings use standard titles so you can find us, but if you join Tutor, you'll be a MoTS — with a level that is determined through the interview process. That also means we hire people, not slots.
