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 team's mission is to develop self-driving vehicles that operate without human driver intervention, realizing Woven's vision of “ Mobility for All.” We are particularly focused on Mobility as a Service (MaaS) applications. MaaS offers the advantage of increased vehicle usage through ride-sharing, enabling the installation of advanced sensors and computers essential for ensuring the reliability of driverless operation. We are transforming people's lives for the better through driverless vehicles. To accomplish this mission, we aim to build a diverse team composed of individuals with varied backgrounds, all driven by curiosity and dedication.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are seeking engineers passionate about realizing autonomous vehicles and eager to work together to improve the future of mobility. Daily responsibilities include designing and troubleshooting hardware kits for autonomous driving, as well as designing, developing, and operating HIL systems for simulating autonomous driving systems. We are looking for members with extensive experience and advanced skills as hardware engineers in real-time robotics systems who can accelerate our team's development.
