Job summary

Pronto is seeking a Robotics Engineer to drive system-level debugging and end-to-end feature delivery for autonomous trucks. You will develop, test, and deploy autonomy features, and act as a technical lead during deployments, owning bring-up, triage, and cross-team coordination in mission-critical environments.

You will work across hardware, software, and operations to ensure safe, robust autonomy and scalable performance.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• Proficient in Python and C++ (Java or C# also acceptable).
• Robotics engineering experience with system-level ownership.
• Strong diagnostics and logging for scalable systems.
• Familiarity with Linux, Git, CI/CD, and robotics tooling.

Responsibilities

• Develop, test, and deploy autonomy features 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.
• Travel note: This role requires periodic travel to customer sites (up to 10%)
• Schedule note: Some schedule flexibility may be required during deployments
