Autonomous Fleet Support Engineer

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 collect the learning data necessary for autonomous driving and evaluate the performance of the software built based on that data.

Developing machine learning (ML)-based software requires a large volume of high-quality data.

We use vehicles and simulations to evaluate the software, contributing to its performance improvement.

To achieve this mission, it is crucial to keep the vehicles in a healthy state at all times.

We are looking for colleagues who are unafraid of change and enjoy new challenges.

Join us in shaping the future of autonomous driving!
