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

Our Cloud and Data Engineering organization is working on accelerating autonomous driving by providing access to petabytes of data collected from our large fleet of autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles. Efficient, fast and cost-effective access to data at large scale is key to tackle the hardest problems in AD/ADAS, from developing the Machine Learning (ML) models for perception and prediction of human driving patterns, to increasing the sophistication of our validation and simulation by identifying rare and interesting real-world driving situations. The Lakehouse ingestion platform developed by the Data Acquisition Engineering team is a fundamental building block for developing and testing modern AD/ADAS products that will impact millions of customers.

The primary goal of our Lakehouse system and Fleetnik mobile app is to seamlessly ingest, enrich, and monitor fleet vehicle data as it flows into the cloud. A key goal for this role is delivering data-collection edge filtering infrastructure that supports data validation and scenario detection. Our pipelines are based on industry standard frameworks deployed to AWS. We engineer large-scale data acquisition pipelines that process hundreds of terabytes daily from numerous global ingestion sites. Our data acquisition products leverage industry-standard frameworks deployed on AWS, utilizing Java, Golang, Python, and JavaScript. We believe strongly in automation and testing to ensure delivery of robust and correct systems. We are a distributed team, working in Japan, the UK and the US.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The Data Acquisition team is looking for engineers who are passionate about and enable the next generation of automotive software development. The right candidate will have excellent communication skills, solid coding skills, broad knowledge of software engineering in areas such as Data Infrastructure and Warehouses, Data Ingestion, Distributed Databases, Compute Frameworks, Stream Processing, Observability and Build Infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the design, build, maintenance, optimization and support of large scale, cloud-native data ingestion, data storage, data processing and data serving systems.
