Job Description

While most Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology companies are stuck in R&D mode, Pronto is a world-leader in commercializing AV tech via our Autonomous Haulage System, which is automating haulage operations at mines and quarries around the world.

Pronto’s team of Silicon Valley veterans has been at the forefront of every major AV development over the past 20 years, with a relentless focus on commercializing the technology, leading to our current specialization in off-road applications.

This focus and our decades of experience have put Pronto on a track to become the world’s first profitable AV technology company.

Pronto is seeking an Embedded Firmware Engineer to join our growing team and help expand our autonomous haulage systems. You'll be working on cutting‑edge technology that is transforming the mining and heavy equipment industries, implementing robust firmware solutions for some of the most challenging environments on Earth. We are looking for someone who is comfortable with bare‑metal microcontroller firmware, debugging and identifying issues with novel hardware, and ground‑up implementation of firmware for circuits in a real‑world environment.

Core responsibilities

  • Read and interpret complex electrical schematics and understand the physical functionality of custom‑built PCBs
  • Collaborate with electrical and software engineers to develop comprehensive specifications for new hardware
  • Develop firmware for custom boards from the ground up based on schematic designs and functional requirements
  • Extend and enhance existing firmware codebases to support new features and capabilities
  • Examine, document, and develop interfaces for existing third‑party vehicle communications systems
  • Implement firmware for drive‑by‑wire retrofit systems on new vehicle platforms
  • Support field installations and troubleshoot hardware and firmware issues at customer sites

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
  • Strong experience with embedded systems and real‑time control applications
  • Proficiency with common communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, etc.)
  • Deep understanding of electronics and their physical operation, capabilities, and limitations
  • Hands‑on experience with electrical hardware implementation, testing, and validation from concept through production
  • Exceptional debugging skills across software, firmware, and hardware domains
  • Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment
  • Willingness to travel occasionally for field deployments

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to work on groundbreaking autonomous technology
  • Collaborative environment with industry pioneers and leading engineers
  • Competitive compensation and equity package
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
