Systems Safety Engineer

About Woven by ToyotaWoven 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.

You thrive at the intersection of system architecture and implementation: allocating safety requirements, defining technical safety concepts, and ensuring the right mechanisms, monitors, and validations exist in software to meet safety targets. This is a senior individual contributor role with deep hands-on engagement across AD/ADAS feature teams, Systems Engineering, V&V, and ML Safety. You bring rigor, traceability, and practical judgment to make our internal product demonstrably safe for mass production.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Description of the responsibility that this position will be in charge of- Allocate safety requirements (system → software component) with clear interfaces, state machines, timing/resource budgets, and acceptance criteria
