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 Arene’s goal is to open vehicle programming to everyone by simplifying vehicle software development and increasing deployment frequency without compromising safety and security. This will create a whole new market of vehicle application developers who, through software, integrate a vehicle into our daily lives in novel ways. Arene aims to significantly improve how vehicles are designed and developed, and we’re working closely with Toyota to realize this goal in its next-generation vehicles. WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR? We are seeking a Software Engineering Intern to join Arene in creating the most programmable vehicles on the planet. As part of our broader embedded engineering efforts, you will work on in‑vehicle software across multiple layers — from operating systems and middleware to APIs and tooling — enabling the next generation of Software Defined Vehicles. This internship offers the opportunity to contribute to diverse embedded projects, collaborate with teams across Arene, Toyota, and global partners, and gain experience in how modern automotive software is architected, developed, tested, and validated for production.
