🚗 About Woven by Toyota 🚗
Woven by Toyota is at the forefront of transforming Toyota into a mobility company for the next century. Inspired by a legacy of innovation for the benefit of others, our mission is to redefine "mobility" through human-centric innovation, expanding its meaning and societal impact.
Our work is structured around four key pillars:
- AD/ADAS: Our advanced driver-assistance and autonomous driving technologies.
- Arene: Our software development platform for software-defined vehicles.
- Woven City: A real-world testbed for mobility innovations.
- Cloud & AI: The digital infrastructure that powers our collaborative efforts.
Business-critical functions support these teams, all united by a bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.
✨ The Team ✨
Our data platform team is dedicated to accelerating autonomous driving by providing access to petabytes of data from our fleet of vehicles. Enabling efficient, fast, and cost-effective data access at scale is crucial for tackling complex AD/ADAS challenges. This includes developing Machine Learning (ML) models for perception and prediction of driving patterns, and enhancing our validation and simulation capabilities by identifying rare and interesting real-world driving scenarios. The data ecosystem developed by our London team is a foundational element for creating and testing modern AD/ADAS products that will impact millions of customers.
Our ML and Data pipelines are built on the open-source Flyte orchestration framework and deployed on AWS. Pipeline code is written in Python. We utilize SQS and Kafka for automated data connections and leverage BigQuery and Elasticsearch for data storage. We are strong advocates for automation and testing to ensure the delivery of robust and correct systems. We operate as a distributed team across the UK and US.
🎯 Who are we looking for? 🎯
The AD/ADAS Data Platform team is seeking a Staff Software Engineer passionate about empowering the next generation of automotive software development. Modern ML-based AD/ADAS development requires automatic categorization and indexing of data based on factors like weather, road conditions, rarity, and complexity of driving behaviors. To address this, we are building a data search platform that combines traditional indexing with cutting-edge generative AI technology, capable of handling vast amounts of driving data. The ideal candidate will have prior experience in building scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure, a user-first approach, and excellent communication skills for effective collaboration within a global team. Previous experience in building ML applications is a significant advantage.
