Robotics Planning Engineer

We are looking for a Robotics Planning Engineer with 2+ years of experience to develop the high-level autonomy systems that coordinate fleets of autonomous haul trucks in mining environments. You'll join a fast-growing team at Pronto (now part of Atoms), where your work on path planning, multi-vehicle coordination, and dispatch systems will directly impact production-deployed autonomous haulage operations across multiple countries. This is a rare opportunity to be one of the first planning engineers on the team, with the ability to touch motion planning, coordination planning, and fleet planning — building something no one else in the industry is doing. The market is massive, the technology is ahead of competitors like Caterpillar and Komatsu, and with $1.7B recently raised, the business is scaling rapidly.

What will you be doing?

Developing all path planning and trajectory systems for autonomous haul trucks, ensuring trucks don't stop unnecessarily when encountering unmapped obstacles or objects

Designing intersection management systems that compute optimal truck sequences to minimize total wait time across the site

Building motion planning, coordination planning, and fleet planning concepts — translating site-wide state (loading/dumping locations) into dynamic assignments for each truck

Implementing multi-agent coordination systems that prevent deadlocks and collisions while maximizing throughput for 200+ ton vehicles

Collaborating closely with controls and systems engineers to validate planning algorithms in simulation and on real vehicles during deployments
