Manufacturing Engineer (Process, Test & NPI Development)

Tutor Intelligence builds advanced robotic systems that automate complex, repetitive work — from warehouse operations to manufacturing environments. We’re a fast-growing team of brilliant engineers and operators passionate about creating reliable, scalable automation that blends hardware, software, and human insight.
As we scale production and deployment, we’re looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Engineer who thrives at the intersection of design, production, and field reliability — someone who loves to build, fix, and improve everything they touch.
Why This Role Is SpecialYou won’t be stuck on a single line or behind a screen. You’ll design fixtures, write test procedures, own the build process, and see your work deployed in live robotic systems across the country.You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with design engineers, manufacturing techs, and field teams to make every robot more reliable, repeatable, and easy to build. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role where your decisions directly affect production quality, uptime, and customer success.

What You Will Own

• Process Design & Continuous Improvement
• Define and optimize assembly and test processes for robotic subassemblies.
• Author and maintain build documentation, work instructions, and QA checklists.
• Own configuration control and BOM accuracy within First Resonance ION.
• Identify process bottlenecks, propose DFM/DFA improvements, and track results.
• Test & Fixture Development
• Design and build fixtures, jigs, and calibration setups to streamline production.
• Develop automated or semi-automated test stations for repeatable QA.
• Collaborate with software and electrical engineers to capture and analyze test data.
• Improve test coverage, yield, and diagnostic speed across product lines.
• New Product Introduction (NPI)
• Support prototype and pilot builds, ensuring smooth transition from engineering to production.
• Validate build methods and test procedures for new subsystems.
• Provide DFM/DFA and serviceability feedback to design teams.
• Build the documentation and tooling that enable scalable manufacturing.
• Field & Reliability Engineering Support
• Travel to customer sites for troubleshooting, upgrades, and beta installations.
• Perform on-site root cause analysis and feed improvements back into production.
• Support field teams with diagnostics, test procedures, and fixture design.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 1–4 years of experience in manufacturing, test, or process engineering (internships count).
• Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort working with wiring, pneumatics, and sensors.
• Able to read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics.
• Proficient with hand tools, test equipment, and metrology instruments.
• Excellent documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Willingness to travel 25–40% for site support and upgrades.

Preferred Skills

• Experience designing fixtures and tooling in SolidWorks or Onshape.
• Familiarity with IP, Modbus, or CAN bus communication protocols.
• Comfort with Linux/CLI for log retrieval and basic test scripting.
• Understanding of PLC/HMI logic and I/O testing.
• Exposure to Lean manufacturing, 5S, or continuous improvement methodologies.

What’S In It For You

• Own real systems: Your fixtures, processes, and test setups will be used across every build.
• See your impact fast: Rapid iteration cycles — your improvements ship to production and customer sites within weeks.
• Cross-functional exposure: Work directly with design, software, and field teams.
• Growth path: Build the foundation to advance into Senior Manufacturing Engineer, NPI Engineer, or Process Development Lead roles.
• Modern tools: Work inside First Resonance ION — a modern, data-driven factory OS.
• Startup culture: High trust, high impact, low bureaucracy.
