TEAM
The Data & Cloud Engineering team accelerates autonomous-driving development by giving internal customers fast, reliable, and cost-efficient access to petabytes of real-world and synthetic sensor data. We own the end-to-end data lifecycle—vehicle ingestion, large-scale storage, search and discovery, ML-dataset curation, cloud-cost optimisation, and a shared ML training platform. Our services power every stage of the Active Learning Loop and enable learning from long-tail events needed to achieve Toyota’s vision of zero accidents.
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), envision and weigh different approaches, and ultimately define the goals, priorities, and roadmap, empowering our engineering teams to deliver the most impact possible given available resources.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the product vision, strategy, and goals for data ingestion, storage, search, ML platform, and cloud-cost optimisation
- Deeply understand internal users—data infra engineers, ML engineers, autonomy developers—through interviews, usage analytics, and shadowing
- Collaborate with engineering, data, safety, and operations teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and user-friendly development infrastructure
- Align teams within AD/ADAS around a common vision for productivity and ease-of-use and turn that vision into reality. You’ll work closely with engineering, testing, and program management to create technologies, services, and workflows
- Define and track key product metrics to ensure maximum impact given available resources.
- Support setting the short-, mid-, and long-term technical roadmap for the team in collaboration with technical leads and the leadership team
- Own and drive the end-to-end execution of the product through technical engagements (architecture design, reviews, etc) both internally and externally
- Collaborate closely with leads and Engineering Managers working on different components across the organization
- Understand our strategic and competitive position. Set your team’s goals, success metrics, and roadmap to align with Woven by Toyota’s mission and drive maximum impact based on data analysis, user research, and partnering with other teams
- Clearly communicate roadmaps, priorities, and decisions across a wide spectrum of audiences, from partner teams to executive levels
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- 7+ years of product management experience, ideally including machine learning, big data, autonomous driving, automotive, or robotics domains
- Proven track record of launching and scaling complex technical products
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills
- Analytical mindset with the ability to define and track meaningful product metrics
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- Natural ability to influence. You manage ambiguity, complexity, and interdependencies in an organized and structured way
- Detail-oriented with superior organizational skills -- balancing multiple projects, deadlines, and requests should be second nature to you
NICE TO HAVES
- Ability to communicate effectively in Japanese
- Prior experience in the autonomous driving or automotive industries
- Experience with autonomous-vehicle or robotics data, sensor logs, and simulation
- Experience with data science, data introspection, data curation, etc
- Experience working in multi-region, multi-time-zone product teams
