About the Role
Pronto AI is seeking a Robotics Engineer skilled in system-level debugging and end-to-end feature delivery to develop, test, and deploy autonomy capabilities for autonomous trucks, transitioning them from prototype to reliable performance.
Responsibilities
- Develop, integrate, and validate autonomy features (software + tests) for real-world autonomous vehicle operation.
- Own system-level debugging: diagnose issues across sensors, compute, networking, controls, and software stacks using logs, metrics, and on-vehicle tools.
- Lead technical execution for deployments: drive bring-up plans, communicate technical requirements, identify risks, and coordinate fixes with engineering and operations.
- Support field deployments in mission-critical environments, including periodic travel to customer sites and hands-on on-vehicle debugging.
- Bring up and integrate new truck platforms: work with hardware and integration teams to add sensors and vehicle signals, calibrate systems, and tune performance.
- Collaborate across disciplines (hardware, operations, safety, product) to deliver robust, safe, and maintainable autonomy behavior.
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional (non-internship) software development experience.
- Strong programming skills in at least one modern language (Python, C++, Java, or C#); experience with object-oriented design and building maintainable systems.
- Proven robotics engineering experience with evidence of system-level ownership (e.g., integration, debugging, performance tuning, field support, or deployments).
- Ability to design and debug software systems with strong diagnostics (structured logging/metrics, fault isolation, testability) that scale beyond a single vehicle.
- Working knowledge of core robotics concepts and math (e.g., state estimation/Kalman filtering, localization, planning, controls).
- Comfort operating in ambiguity—able to define scope, interfaces, milestones, and success criteria to drive a problem to completion.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical partners.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects through planning, execution, and deployment.
- Experience deploying autonomy/robotics systems in the field (on-call or deployment rotations, safety-critical troubleshooting, or customer-site support).
- Experience with any of: sensor fusion, safety systems, camera pipelines, ML for perception, vehicle interfaces (CAN), calibration workflows.
- Familiarity with robotics tooling and infrastructure (Linux, Git, CI/CD, simulation/test harnesses).
