Perception Engineer (Data)

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.

About the role

Pronto is seeking an additional engineer to join our perception team. Pronto's autonomous trucks run on an advanced perception stack that uses cameras and other sensors to choose drivable paths, avoid obstacles, and maintain safety at all times. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working with state-of-the-art techniques as well as implementing and maintaining production-stable applications of new features. This role has ample opportunities for growth.

Core Responsibilities

• Stress testing entire perception system to find operating limits
• Improving camera calibration techniques
• Building tooling to iteratively improve our data pipeline through active learning
• Creating tooling to extract data from vehicle logs
• Testing applications for neural nets on autonomous vehicles
• Hyperparameter tuning
• Implementing camera / lidar world space to image space transformations
