Full 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 Data & Labeling Services (DLS) team within AD/ADAS at Woven by Toyota generates, validates, and delivers structured, high-quality offline perception and map data. This data supports autonomy development, evaluation, and training through efficient auto-labeling, rigorous quality assurance, and actionable data science insights. The candidate will join the Label Production team and collaborate closely with perception and ML teams across Woven.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for a curious and motivated software engineer who is excited to help build and operate scalable production pipelines that turn autonomous vehicle sensor data into high-value labels with high-definition map features for cutting-edge ML models. If you are naturally inquisitive, eager to learn, independent yet deeply collaborative, and passionate about technology’s potential, you will thrive here. You will work at the intersection of data engineering, workflow orchestration, and geospatial algorithms, owning components end-to-end while learning alongside experienced perception, ML, and data teams. We value a strong growth mindset and team-first attitude over a set number of years on a resume.
RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Data and pipeline engineering
-
