TEAM
The Dev Ecosystem team provides a robust and efficient development platform that supports the entire autonomy software development lifecycle. Our tools and workflows optimize the Active Learning Loop, accelerate development, and enable rigorous evaluation—ensuring the delivery of high-quality, safe, production-grade AD/ADAS software.
Our mission is to deliver scalable tools and workflows that enable rapid, high-confidence development of ADAS features. This includes simulation integration, data pipelines, analysis tooling, and developer-facing web applications. We partner closely with ADAS developers, systems engineering, release, and infrastructure teams to provide intuitive workflows that support testing at scale and insight generation from real-world and simulated data.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for product managers who bring exceptional creative, analytical, and infrastructure skills to build, drive forward, and scale best-in-class products. Product management at Woven by Toyota leads the integration of engineering, data science, and design to achieve the company’s vision for reinventing transportation. As a Product Manager in AD/ADAS, you will build a deep understanding of (internal and external) user needs and constraints (technical, legal, business, etc.), envisioning and weighing different approaches, and ultimately defining the goals, priorities, and roadmap, empowering our engineering teams to deliver the most impact possible given available resources.
RESPONSIBILITIES
