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

Arene is a modern software platform that supports the creation, deployment and continuous improvement of software-defined vehicles. Arene consists of tooling, vehicle software, and a data platform to enable rapid development and reuse, while maintaining safety and security.

At a high level, Arene Data deals with two kinds of data:

1. Software development lifecycle data, where Arene Data provides a secure and scalable cloud location for the data generated during the development of software defined vehicles, which in turn enables data-driven decisions, supports the Toyota Production System, drives customer value, generates revenue, and reduces product time-to-market.

2. Vehicle data, where Arene Data is responsible for ingesting, processing, and providing actual and simulated vehicle data to internal and external customers within the Toyota group with one of the main use-cases being the improvement of ADAS functionalities.

You will report to the Team Lead of the designated team under Arene Data, and the role is Onsite.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our team is developing a system that enables data users to easily and efficiently collect the data they need from a large number of vehicles already deployed in the market. This product provides an integrated platform for managing all processes related to data collection, including configuration, update, distribution, and monitoring. Through this unified approach, our goal is to support a wide variety of large-scale use cases and realize a robust foundation for mobility-related data acquisition.

While the system adopts a typical web application architecture with both frontend (Next.js) and backend components (FastAPI), it also presents unique and challenging aspects:

・Achieving secure and reliable remote distribution of data collection instructions to a variety of target vehicles, including those already in the market, through close technical collaboration with in-vehicle engineers

・Designing a user experience that allows data users with diverse needs to intuitively and abstractly configure collection requirements

・Addressing advanced requirements such as secure cross-platform data integration (across cloud and in-vehicle systems), cost management, and strict adherence to privacy guidelines

・Facilitating effective communication in English with engineers responsible for related systems such as the Arene Data platform, and promoting collaboration within a global team

By designing, developing, and operating this product, we contribute to accelerating data utilization and the creation of new service value in the mobility industry.

We are looking for individuals who are interested in engaging with a wide range of professional domains—including in-vehicle systems, data analytics, and machine learning—and who are committed to collaborating with diverse stakeholders. Ideal candidates are those who aspire to build better systems together by actively seeking input from, and working closely with, all involved parties to create solutions that serve the needs of every stakeholder. Passion for interdisciplinary learning and a strong emphasis on cross-functional teamwork are highly valued in our team.
