About Woven by Toyota 🚗
Woven by Toyota, part of the Toyota Group, is challenging the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation and empowering mobility transformation. Through our AD/ADAS technology, our automotive software development platform Arene OS, our mobility test course Toyota Woven City, and Toyota’s growth fund, Woven Capital, we are pioneering the movement of people, goods, information, and energy, weaving a future of enhanced safety, connectivity, and 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.
Arene Reactor is a function within the Validation platform that aims to enable developers to test their applications as early as possible in the development cycle without requiring access to a real vehicle to reduce costs and deliver safer software. For this, we provide a highly customizable simulation core engine that simulates sensors and ground-truth data for both the tested vehicle and its surrounding virtual environment.
Automotive simulation for autonomous vehicles lies at the intersection of many subfields, such as robotics, safety engineering, computational physics, computer graphics, real-time computing, and simulation engine design, just to name a few. We aspire to integrate facets of those various disciplines into a coherent body of knowledge that will help us tackle our challenges and achieve our mission.
If you want to work with other talented engineers to solve challenging and interesting problems, come join us!
Who Are We Looking For? 👀
We are looking for experienced developers who are passionate or eager to learn about developing simulation technology that enables increasingly more powerful self-driving software to safely enter the marketplace. Testing a complex piece of software such as an AD/ADAS system requires carefully engineered automated workflows, including groundbreaking simulation technology.
We are looking for experienced developers with a strong ownership mindset and good technical communication skills. The candidate must, therefore, have first-hand knowledge of software development and be effective at communicating across teams.
Responsibilities: 🛠️
- Collaborate with other team members and other Arene teams to develop simulation-related software components and tools.
- Work closely with customers, simulation application developers, to design and deliver solutions that meet their needs.
- Create self-contained solutions that can be built and deployed in a fully-automated way.
- Adhere to and incrementally improve the norms of the team in communication, workflows, coding standards, etc.
- Learn about and understand user workflows for simulation and testing.
Minimum Qualifications: 📚
- Experience in object-oriented language (modern C++, Python, Rust…)
- Experience with game engines such as Unreal or Unity
- Experience with modern development tools (Git, Docker, Jira, Confluence…)
- Experience with maintaining and deploying code to production environments
