About The Position

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 drives systems-level innovation for advanced AD/ADAS technologies—ensuring safety, performance, and seamless integration into real-world product deployments. WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? We’re seeking a Systems Engineer with deep knowledge of AD/ADAS systems and safety processes. The ideal candidate can translate user requirements into robust autonomous software system requirements, manage technical interfaces and risk, and collaborate across hardware, software, and systems disciplines. Experience bridging research concepts into production programs is especially valued.
