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
The Global Quality Assurance (GQA) team, part of the Product Quality department, ensures the quality of software for safe mobility services across Woven by Toyota, Toyota Motor Corporation, and affiliates. Our mission is to deliver safe, secure, high-quality software, contributing to Toyota's evolution as a software-driven carmaker.
The GQA team sets audit and assessment standards, develops audit plans, and conducts assessments. Join our team of professionals committed to software safety and quality in the automotive industry.
You will report to the head of the Process Management (PM) team within GQA and follow a hybrid schedule with 3+ days in the office.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
The Arene platform combines Toyota’s decades of manufacturing expertise with modern software capabilities. A collection of build tools, advanced infrastructure, and on-vehicle software services, Arene enables the development of integrated, software-driven experiences, all with the quality and efficiency that is synonymous with Toyota, helping create ever-better cars that grow together with their customers and move the world closer to a zero-accident future.
We are looking for exceptional candidates for engineering roles dedicated to developing quality measures for the Arene platform, which has a main focus on the SDV software development kit and software verification and validation tools. You will help establish quality-related organizational processes and environments that support the software development kit and tool chain, including audits and assessments.
Rather than only prioritizing experience in system or software development, we are also looking for individuals who are enthusiastic and motivated to build processes based on the latest technological trends, ensuring that our Arene platform maintains a strong focus on quality to meet the customer's requirements.
Therefore, we need an engineer who
・Adapt and derive optimal solutions by considering diverse perspectives
・Effectively negotiate with teams using deep knowledge of quality assurance
