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 AD requirement team’s mission is to define the system requirements for AD/ADAS and to derive them into software subsystem requirements. Moreover, we cover not only traditional rule-based requirements management but also data-driven requirements management.
In addition, we are responsible for designing robust system behavior in case of failures. We work closely with cross-functional AD/ADAS teams to realize safer and more secure vehicle control applications for mass-production vehicles.
By leveraging cutting-edge technology, we aim to create safer and more efficient systems. Our team is committed to innovation and quality, delivering solutions that support the future of mobility.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You are a highly skilled professional with experience in complex automotive system development, preferably including some exposure to AD/ADAS systems. You will have to convert system requirements into software requirements and design system behavior, including fail-safe operations, in collaboration with cross-functional AD/ADAS stakeholders. You have leadership skills, enabling you to collaborate with cross-disciplinary design teams. Additionally, you are capable of exploring and managing requirements for data-driven systems and have a fundamental understanding of safety concepts for automotive systems.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Engage with various stakeholders to define vehicle-level system requirements
- Decompose vehicle-level requirements into software subsystems, such as Sensors, Planner, Perception, MAP, and HMI
- Manage data-driven requirements, including defining necessary data types and selecting effective data
- Design system latency based on scenario analysis
- Define product criteria, including performance and functional requirements
- Define system behavior in failure conditions to realize safer and more secure automated driving and driving support systems
- Define system-level and software-level requirements to realize fail-safe operations
- Come to the office 3x per week per our hybrid work policy, and report to the system design team manager
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Over 3 years of professional experience, preferably in automotive system development
- Experience translating user or product-level requirements into architecture and allocating them appropriately
- Experience in deriving, tracking, and verifying automotive application requirements using the V-model process
- Experience in considering system behavior in failure conditions for automotive systems or other safety-related systems
- Working proficiency in English
- Experience using Japanese in a similar team (JLPT N2 or equivalent language ability)
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience in project management and leadership
- Software coding skills (Matlab, Python, or C/C++)
- Experience with machine learning applications
- Knowledge and experience with international AD/ADAS regulations (e.g., Euro NCAP, UN ECE, US NHTSA)
- Experience in fail-safe development for automotive systems as part of system or software development
- Functional safety and fail-safe design related basic knowledge of standards in the automotive industry (e.g. IEC 61508, ISO 26262, ISO 21448)
