Field Engineer

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.

Pronto is seeking a seasoned mining professional to lead our on-site deployments. As the Mining Engineer, you will be the bridge between Pronto’s cutting-edge technology and the customer’s day-to-day mining operations. You will be responsible for managing a high-performing technical team, ensuring the customer meets their infrastructure commitments, and delivering the project according to strict performance and safety criteria.
