Software Systems Engineer

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

The Woven By Toyota North America Systems Verification & Validation (V&V) team focuses on systems thinking in innovating, developing, and managing advanced AD/ADAS systems that prioritize safety, meet client needs, and drive Woven By Toyota's advanced product development for integration. The US Systems V&V Team’s responsibility is to define system performance criteria for product features and perform verification of system performance for deployment to public roads. The candidate will report to the Systems V&V Manager.
