Robotics Engineer

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.

We are now expanding into Europe, and our Madrid office will be home to the founding team that builds and supports Pronto's operations across the region.

 

What you'll do

• Support and maintain autonomous trucks in production, ensuring continuous, efficient operation across Pronto's global sites.
• Diagnose and debug Linux-based systems, identifying and resolving issues across firmware, software, and embedded systems.
• Work directly with customers and on-site teams to address operational needs and keep technical execution aligned.
• Support the installation and integration of hardware at new sites as we deploy and expand our fleets in Europe and beyond.
• Build debugging and monitoring tools that improve technical support and failure analysis.
• Develop software for autonomous systems in collaboration with international engineering teams.
• Work across robotics domains such as localization, controls, path planning, safety systems, sensor fusion, hardware integration (custom or third-party), camera pipelines, and/or machine learning.
• Help shape the processes, tooling, and culture of Pronto's first European team.

 

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of experience in software, hardware, and/or robotics development (academic research and internships count).
• Advanced knowledge of Linux systems.
• Hands-on experience debugging embedded systems.
• Comfort with remote connections (SSH) and command-line tools.
• Programming skills in Python or C/C++ for code analysis and bug fixing.
• Fluent English, as you'll work daily with global teams and read and write technical documentation.

 

Why join us

• Work on real, production-deployed autonomy.
• Build technology that directly improves safety, efficiency, and productivity.
• Tackle complex challenges in demanding, real-world environments.
• Be part of a fast-moving team with high ownership and impact.
• See your work deployed and making a difference in the field.
• Collaborate closely with experienced engineers and industry operators.
• Join as part of the founding team of Pronto in Europe.

 

What else you need to know

This role is based in our Madrid office. 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.

This role supports 24/7 operations through rotating shifts shared across international time zones, including weekends and public holidays.
