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 automates the machines and operations that power the global economy. Founded in 2018, our team has been at the forefront of major milestones in self-driving and robotics, including the first, and only, fully autonomous cross-country drive from California to New York.
Our first product is an Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) that enables mines, quarries, and construction sites to deploy autonomous vehicles inside their existing operations to improve site safety and add efficiency gains.
Pronto is seeking a highly motivated Customer Success Manager or Mining Engineer to help us deploy our AHS all over the world by managing our operations, customer relationships, and drive project success.
