About the position
Woven by Toyota is the mobility technology subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Our mission is to deliver safe, intelligent, human-centered mobility for all. Through our Arene mobility software platform, safety-first automated driving technology and Toyota Woven City — our test course for advanced mobility — we’re bringing greater freedom, safety and happiness to people and society. Our unique global culture weaves modern Silicon Valley innovation and time-tested Japanese quality craftsmanship. We leverage these complementary strengths to amplify the capabilities of drivers, foster happiness, and elevate well-being. The AD/ADAS Technical Project Management (TPM) Team’s goal is to enable the successful delivery of technology from the engineering organization to achieve business goals. The TPM function in WbyT’s AD/ADAS organization is a partner to the Engineering and Product functions and owns the technical execution of the AD/ADAS portfolio maintaining the organization’s plan of record and ensuring execution velocity and agility of a highly cross functional engineering team distributed across multiple locations. The TPMs in the team come from a mix of hardware, vehicle, and software backgrounds but we all share a common drive to enable the delivery of complex technical engineering products to the world. We are problem solvers who make things happen by setting and communicating clear goals and supporting engineering teams to deliver the best safety critical autonomy through the technical and organizational complexity.
