About the role
We're looking for a Robotics Planning Engineer to develop the high-level autonomy systems that coordinate fleets of autonomous haul trucks in mining environments. You'll work on path planning, multi-vehicle coordination, and dispatch systems that operate at the site level — deciding where trucks go, when they go, and how they interact with each other.
What they're looking for
- BS/MS/PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or related field required
- 3+ years of professional (non-internship) software development experience
- Strong foundation in motion planning algorithms
- Experience with computational geometry (collision detection, polygon operations)
- Proficiency in Python and NumPy for numerical computing
- Understanding of vehicle kinematics and nonholonomic constraints
More about this role
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.
