Full job description
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 Vehicle Perception team at Woven by Toyota tackles the core challenges of machine learning for 3D perception, sensor fusion, and computer vision in autonomous vehicles. Our work involves a variety of challenges, such as analyzing petabytes of multimodal driving data, solving optimization problems in computer vision, minimizing latency on hardware accelerators, deploying scalable and efficient machine learning (ML) training and evaluation pipelines, and designing novel neural network architectures to advance state-of-the-art ML for onboard perception. We are looking for doers and creative problem solvers to join us in improving mobility for everyone with human-centered automated driving solutions for personal and commercial applications.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
The team is looking for a skilled Machine Learning Engineer to help advance a cutting-edge machine learning system for perception foundation models leveraging large-scale multimodal sensor data. You will have the chance to design and implement innovative machine learning models for our next-generation autonomous vehicle platform, influencing millions of Toyota production vehicles. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about self-driving car technology and its potential impact on humanity. Furthermore, we highly value candidates who exhibit a "giver" mindset, consistently seeking opportunities to assist their colleagues while maintaining a strong focus on delivering solutions to production.
