Robotics Tutor information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Robotics Tutor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Robotics Tutor, you need a solid background in robotics, programming (such as Python or C++), and electronics, often supported by a relevant degree or teaching experience. Familiarity with robotics kits (like LEGO Mindstorms or Arduino), coding platforms, and classroom management software is typically required. Strong communication, patience, and the ability to inspire curiosity are vital soft skills in this role. These skills ensure that students effectively learn complex concepts, stay engaged, and develop problem-solving abilities in a supportive environment.

How does a Robotics Tutor typically collaborate with teachers and other educators to support student learning?

Robotics Tutors often work closely with classroom teachers and curriculum coordinators to align robotics activities with broader educational goals. They may co-design lesson plans, adapt projects to fit different skill levels, and provide technical support during hands-on sessions. Regular communication ensures that the robotics program complements core subjects like math and science, and allows for timely feedback on student progress. Collaboration is key to creating an engaging, supportive environment where students can thrive in both robotics and their overall academic development.

What are Robotics Tutors?

Robotics Tutors are educators or mentors who help students learn about robotics, including the design, construction, programming, and operation of robots. They often work with learners of various ages, from children to adults, and may teach in schools, after-school programs, camps, or online settings. Robotics Tutors guide students through hands-on projects, explain fundamental concepts in engineering and programming, and foster problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Their goal is to make robotics accessible and engaging, helping students gain practical experience and confidence.

What is the difference between Robotics Tutor vs Robotics Instructor?

AspectRobotics TutorRobotics Instructor
CredentialsTypically requires a background in robotics, engineering, or education; certifications are a plusSimilar credentials; often holds teaching certifications or specialized robotics certifications
Work EnvironmentOne-on-one or small group tutoring sessions, often in educational centers or onlineClassroom or workshop settings, teaching multiple students at once
Employer & IndustryEducational institutions, private tutoring companies, online platformsSchools, community centers, robotics camps, educational organizations

Robotics Tutors focus on personalized instruction, helping individual students improve their robotics skills, while Robotics Instructors typically teach larger groups in formal settings. Both roles require relevant technical knowledge, but the scope and environment differ.

Job description

About Tutor

We believe general-purpose, generally-intelligent robots will be built in our lifetimes. Robots will work in our factories, move our goods, walk on our streets and eventually be in our homes. To build that future, research and deployment must work in lockstep: real-world operation must make the technology better and better technology must make deployment easier. We're looking for the thinkers, builders, and researchers who want to be part of that loop.

As an AI robotics company that deploys its inventions directly into the facilities that need them, on state-of-the-art hardware, every line of code written at Tutor has a direct impact on the global, physical economy.

Culture

We believe that something truly special can happen when talented, motivated people work together; at Tutor, every member of our team is empowered to have real impact in everything that they do. We're characterized by both technical excellence and next-level collaboration and respect.

The Role
 

Robotics Maintenance & Field Service Technician II / III - Remote, field-based out of Riverside / Inland Empire, CA. ~75% travel.

Are you the person everyone calls when something breaks? Are you tired of being stuck on one machine in one building, when what you really want is to own a fleet of robots in the real world - and be trusted to keep it running without anyone looking over your shoulder? At Tutor, your office is the customer site and the road. You'll be the face of Tutor on the West Coast: the person our customers know by name, call when they need help, and trust to keep their robots running.

You'll deploy, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve advanced robotic systems operating in customer facilities across the Western U.S. You'll own a territory anchored in California's Inland Empire - our Southern California cluster (Ontario, Perris, Fullerton) - with regular travel to Northern California (Stockton, Belmont) and surge, deployment, and NPI support nationwide as the fleet scales. Your mission is simple: keep the fleet happy and the customers happier. The work makes the technology better - every failure you document and root-cause feeds directly into the next generation of our product.

We're hiring across two levels. As a Level II, you'll independently own preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs across your territory. As a Level III, you'll do all of that and serve as the regional escalation point for the West Coast - the call the rest of the field makes when they're stuck, the senior technical voice on the hardest diagnostics and root-cause work, and a mentor to the II/I techs as the regional bench grows. We hire for mindset over credentials: self-direction, accountability, and a genuine love of solving difficult technical problems matter more to us than any specific stack.

Requirements
 
  • Experience troubleshooting, repairing, building, maintaining, or deploying electromechanical systems
  • Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude
  • Hands-on experience with motors, sensors, actuators, drives, pneumatics, conveyors, robotics, industrial automation, CNC, AGVs, AMRs, or similar systems
  • Ability to read schematics and technical documentation
  • Comfort using multimeters, hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment
  • Documentation discipline - you log your work thoroughly and follow SOPs consistently, even in the field with no one watching
  • Strong communicator who over-communicates by default - comfortable working async over Slack and proactive about keeping the team and customers in the loop
  • Comfortable being uncomfortable - you can walk into an ambiguous situation, figure it out, and drive it to resolution without a playbook
  • Strong ability to own customer relationships solo - no office, no manager on-site
  • Self-direction and accountability: you manage your own schedule, routes, and priorities
  • Willingness to travel (~75%) and take ownership of problems end to end
  • Based in the Riverside / Inland Empire area (or willing to relocate)
  • Valid driver's license and authorization to work in the U.S.
  • Level II: ~2+ years maintaining industrial automation, robotics, conveyors, packaging equipment, AGVs/AMRs, CNC, or similar electromechanical systems
  • Level III: ~5+ years, with a track record of leading the toughest diagnostics, owning root-cause investigations independently, and being the person peers escalate to
Nice to haves
 
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish)
  • Robotics or automation experience
  • Field service experience
  • PLC troubleshooting experience
  • ROS, Linux, or networking experience
  • Military technical background
  • Startup or high-growth company experience
  • Fabrication, machining, welding, or 3D printing experience
Compensation
 
 
Tutor offers competitive benefits including fully employer-covered health insurance, a managed 401(k), and regular in-office meals. We also offer unlimited PTO and holidays. We host social events and maintain a collaborative, low-ego work culture where people are trusted to take ownership and solve real problems. Tutor is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
