Woven by Toyota is the mobility technology subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Our mission is to deliver safe, intelligent, human-centered mobility for all. Through our Arene mobility software platform, safety-first automated driving technology and Toyota Woven City — our test course for advanced mobility — we’re bringing greater freedom, safety and happiness to people and society. 

Our unique global culture weaves modern Silicon Valley innovation and time-tested Japanese quality craftsmanship. We leverage these complementary strengths to amplify the capabilities of drivers, foster happiness, and elevate well-being.

THE TEAM
The Toyota Woven City is a fully-connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells to be built at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. It is envisioned as a "living laboratory" and "ever evolving," incorporating various types of cutting-edge technologies. At the same time, it is also "human-centric;" that is, it is expected to keep people safe and comfortable.
Woven City's R&D team will develop innovative products and services using technologies developed by Toyota Motor Corporation.
Our mission is to:
1. Develop services and products for Woven City
2. Expand capabilities through long-term R&D
Toyota Motor Corporation has been involved in a variety of technological development in the robotics, energy, and automotive domains for a long time. Our team will leverage Toyota's hardware expertise in these fields to create new value by developing software on top of this.

Our team will develop innovative services that are essential to the city. As a first-party developer, we will also build a foundation upon which third-party partners can participate. Therefore, we are responsible for not just the applications but also the core software and capabilities.

Our team consists of many highly experienced members with international work experience. We strive to be open-minded as we create a new culture with members from various backgrounds and nationalities. Our global team works closely with the Toyota Motor Corporation and the Toyota Research Institute in North America to develop our technologies and products.

We are seeking talented people to join us as we take on new challenges to create new products and services for the Toyota Woven City.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We're looking for an engineer who is passionate about enabling a novel digital twin platform. It is one of the key catalysts of innovations in Woven City. Though Woven City is a 'living laboratory', it would be better that inventors' ideas can be tested in a virtual environment before trying in the real city. The platform will accelerate their innovations by providing a city-scale simulation and testing environment for their ideas, services and products. The simulator has to reproduce various city activities such as residents daily life, traffic dynamics, energy consumption to name a few, which requires computation of complex interactions among agents and environment. Since the number of agents and necessary activities are open to future use, we have to build a resilient and scalable infrastructure to handle the demand as use grows. We are looking for someone who loves the vision of the digital twin platform and can contribute to the development of the software and infrastructure needed to run, monitor, and scale the digital twin platform and supporting services.

    • Design, develop, and own parts of the infrastructure with the ability to deal with ambiguous requirements

    • Build components to manage, monitor, and maintain the function and health of the infrastructure
    • Contribute to documentation and code maintainability
    • Collaborate within and across teams to develop and deliver bests practices

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

    • Bachelor's in Computer Science or related field and 5+ years of work experience
    • Professional experience in one or more languages, such as C++, Java, C#, Python
    • Experience automating builds, deployments, testing, environment lifecycle, and/or monitoring
    • Experience with PowerShell/bat or Bash scripting
