Job Description

About Woven by Toyota

Woven by Toyota is enabling Toyota’s once-in-a-century transformation into a mobility company. Inspired by a legacy of innovating for the benefit of others, our mission is to challenge the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation — expanding what “mobility” means and how it serves society.

Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we’re working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.

=========================================================================

TEAM

Our mission is to achieve automated driving technology through data-driven development. To be number one in the automated driving industry, agile software development is necessary. In order to increase the speed and quality of software development, it is important to reproduce and validate the very many and complex traffic scenes that occur in the market. The Production Tooling team uses agile development methods to develop simulations and utilize them to create a testing environment for automated driving software. If you want to develop automated driving systems at the forefront, come work with us!
