San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/29/2025

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.
