TEAM

The AD/ADAS group at Woven by Toyota is developing a scalable, data-driven approach to autonomous and assisted driving. Our AV Performance Team develops strategies and executes testing globally for Toyota’s Personally Owned Vehicle (POV). Team members include testing experts that build, execute and refine test methods - in simulation, closed course, and real world environments - enabling data driven decisions about the functions we develop and their integrated performance.  The testing feedback from our team is critical to accelerating vehicle development and delivering production-ready solutions based on cutting edge research and development in the domain.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our Product Delivery organization is looking for a technical specialist who can define and lead the test strategy for autonomous driving software at the system level.

This role is responsible for determining the most appropriate test modality for each requirement or scenario, such as simulation, closed-course testing, or on-road testing. The specialist will not necessarily execute tests directly, but will lead the overall technical direction of testing and validation activities.

The ideal candidate has strong knowledge of autonomous driving systems and system-level validation. They can understand complex system behavior, identify validation gaps, and work cross-functionally with software developers, test teams, tool teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define test strategies for autonomous driving software and related vehicle functions
• Analyze system requirements and determine the appropriate verification and validation method for each requirement
• Decide which requirements or scenarios should be tested through simulation, closed-course testing, proving ground testing, or on-road testing
