Motion Planning Engineer, AD/ADAS

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

Woven by Toyota's AD/ADAS organization is developing algorithms for next-generation autonomy and ADAS active safety systems, using data-driven approaches and efficient architecture. We are looking for a systems-minded engineer with experience in AD/ADAS to apply algorithms for motion planning by using information from sensors or maps.

You will be excited to develop world-class autonomy features and be passionate about improving the lives of millions through safety and mobility.
