Senior Firmware Engineer, Validation Platform

Open 65d
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
Arene’s goal is to open vehicle programming to everyone by simplifying vehicle software development and increasing deployment frequency without compromising safety and security. This will create a whole new market of vehicle application developers who, through software, integrate a vehicle into our daily lives in novel ways. Arene aims to significantly improve how vehicles are designed and developed, and we’re working closely with Toyota to realize this goal in its next-generation vehicles.
The Arene Tools Engineering team’s mission is to streamline software delivery and enhance operational speed in the automotive industry by developing innovative test, emulation, and simulation systems. We aim to facilitate quicker software releases and elevate the overall quality of automotive solutions, maintaining an uncompromised commitment to safety. With the Tools Engineering department, the Test Rigs team delivers vehicle computer hardware emulation and simulation environments, or "virtual vehicles," to facilitate the "shift-left" approach in software development. This supports automotive software engineers' technical requirements in collaboration with hardware and software suppliers.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The ideal candidate for this role comes from a strong embedded software engineering background. This individual would have experience working with modern C++, Linux O.S. or Real-Time Operating Systems, and exposure to programming FPGAs using System Verilog.

We are looking for software engineers who are excited to help build a state-of-the-art automotive platform that is “software first”. We envision the Arene platform will change the way vehicles are made. Our team is developing tools and systems using modern software techniques, and we need software engineers who excel at building robust software systems to solve challenging problems at scale.
