About the role

This role is based in our San Francisco office location. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week. The base salary range for this role is $195,000 - $240,000 per year. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years in systems safety, safety engineering or a closely related systems discipline in a safety-critical domain. Mining experience is not required
  • You have built a safety argument from scratch — claims, evidence, structure — and defended its sufficiency to someone who pushed back
  • Structured hazard analysis depth at both the system and the operational level, and the judgment to pick the method the situation actually warrants
  • You have written the process rather than inherited one: investigation, triage, qualification, or their equivalents. Tell us who ran it after you wrote it and what broke
  • Comfortable leading one or two people while still being the person who writes the safety case rather than reviewing it
  • Python or SQL sufficient to work event data yourself rather than waiting for an analyst

Who we are

Pronto AI is a global leader in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, deploying Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS) that automate operations in mines, quarries, and construction sites worldwide. While much of the industry remains in R&D, we deliver real, production-ready autonomy that is already operating in the field.

We are on a mission to make mining operations safer, smarter, and more efficient through cutting-edge technology, and we are building toward becoming the world’s first profitable AV technology company.

What you’ll do

  • Build the off-road truck safety case. Claims, evidence, limits, and what remains open. Keep it current as trucks, sites and software change, and be clear about what it does not cover.
  • Hazard analysis. What the installation introduces on a given truck, what the site already carries, and what the combination creates. Drive the results into requirements and into site controls.
  • Test preparation. Define what has to be demonstrated before a truck operates autonomously at a site: the procedures, the acceptance criteria, and what evidence each test actually produces.
  • Commissioning readiness. Hold the gate between installed and...
