On 1 May 1939, she married William Caubu Rousseau, a co-worker at E.B. Badger & Sons, who was later a chemical engineering lecturer at MIT.

They had one son, William.

Hutchinson started her professional career with E. B. Badger in Boston.

During the Second World War, she oversaw the design of production plants for the strategically important materials of penicillin and synthetic rubber.

Her development of deep-tank fermentation of penicillium mold enabled large-scale production of penicillin.

She worked on the development of high-octane gasoline for aviation fuel.

Her later work included improved distillation column design and plants for the production of ethylene glycol and glacial acetic acid.

"An ethylene glycol plant was recently in the process of construction deep in the heart of Texas, when an indignant workman watching a tall, blonde beauty boss the project, said to his foreman: 'Who does that dame think she is, strutting around here?' 'Oh, her!' the foreman shrugged with a grin, 'Well, I'll tell you Buck, she's just the dame who designed this whole darn plant.'"
