About Tutor Intelligence
Tutor Intelligence builds robots for factories and warehouses. Robot operators instruct deployed robots, troubleshoot problems and report performance issues. VR operators use a headset and controllers for precise pick-and-place tasks that improve robot learning. Both reviewed roles are full-time and on-site in Watertown, Massachusetts; operating a distant robot does not mean working from home.

Is Tutor Intelligence a good place to work?
Researched October 2026 · 18 sourcesMostly. Tutor is a well-funded MIT spinout that posts its pay and offers health insurance, but operators work on-site shifts including nights, weekends and holidays, and no operator has reviewed it publicly. Its posted hourly pay sits well below MIT's living wage for a single adult in Middlesex County, for on-site shifts that can fall overnight, on weekends and on holidays. Glassdoor has only three reviews, none from operators. It pays $20–$30/hr across reviewed operator roles (stated by the employer).
Actively listing 2 open roles todayTutor Intelligence, Inc.

On-site in Watertown, Massachusetts, United States. The Robot Operator role requires regular weekend coverage, with evening and overnight shifts among the listed schedules. Visa sponsorship is not stated in the reviewed postings.
We found no documented scams or fraud warnings naming Tutor Intelligence. Real openings are on jobs.lever.co/tutorintelligence, linked from tutorintelligence.com/careers.

What people praise
- The VR operator posting lists fully employer-paid health insurance, a managed 401(k) and, for hourly staff, 16+ days of accrued paid time off plus 1.5x pay on federal holidays.
- The VR operator posting asks for no degree or past robotics work, and lists gaming, VR or simulation experience only as a plus.
- All three Glassdoor reviewers (engineers, 2025) recommend Tutor, citing smart colleagues, fast learning and career growth, which they rate 5.0 of 5.
What people complain about
- The Robot Support Specialist role is shift work with an 11pm to 7am overnight shift, regular weekend coverage and holiday shifts when needed.
- Its posted operator pay is below the $33.99 an hour that MIT's Living Wage Calculator gave, when read in October 2026, for a single adult with no children in Middlesex County, which includes Watertown.
- Glassdoor has three reviews, all from engineers. A former robotics engineer (July 2025) said pay trails similar jobs and overwork is expected; work/life balance scores 2.5 of 5.
- The VR job is repetitive pick-and-place in a headset, judged on pace and on how rarely you hesitate, make extra moves or retry, with first-line tech support on top.
Best for: People near Watertown, Massachusetts who want a first job in robotics without a degree, can work nights, weekends or holidays on site, and want health insurance. Gamers and VR users suit the VR role. Not for: Anyone who needs remote work or weekday-only hours, needs a Boston-area living wage, or dislikes repetitive tasks timed for pace and precision.
Honest catches
- Pay here is stated by the employer, not measured live from a job feed, so treat it as a benchmark rather than a guaranteed rate.
