Woven by Toyota Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. 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
The Developer Efficiency team is central to the development of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) at Woven by Toyota. We build the frontend and backend frameworks that power ADAS software validation workflows using data from real-world driving, simulation, and ground truth. Our mission is to streamline development workflows and accelerate confident, high-quality releases through scalable and re-usable components. We work closely with cross-functional partners to ensure validation is rapid, insightful, and reliable.
Who Are We Looking For
We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on delivering modular, scalable backend frameworks that integrate data ETL pipelines, simulation, evaluation tooling, and developer-facing web applications for 3D visualization and data analytics. Your team supports developer-facing tools that:
Run large-scale simulations and evaluation Debug ADAS software using real-world and simulated data Measure performance against functional and behavioral requirements Visualize and interpret test results across scenarios, datasets, and fleet data
This is a highly cross-functional leadership role. You’ll collaborate with simulation and evaluation engineers, ADAS software developers, systems engineers, and release teams to deliver frameworks that are modular, testable, maintainable, and cloud-native.
The ideal candidate brings strong technical leadership, a systems-thinking mindset, and experience building reliable, scalable backend systems. You will help drive architectural decisions, mentor a multidisciplinary team, elevate engineering best practices, and align development with long-term product strategy.
Responsibilities
Lead and Grow the Team – Hire, mentor, and support a high-performing team focused on building backend frameworks that power validation workflows for ADAS development. Deliver Scalable Developer Frameworks – Build frameworks that enable the development of large-scale simulation and evaluation workflows across real-world and synthetic scenarios. Unify Related Cross-organizational Workflows - Identify workflows with common data needs and provide unified tooling that can be re-used in multiple user-facing solutions. Uplevel Engineering Practices – Drive improvements in modularity, observability, testability of critical developer workflows. Collaborate Across Functions – Work closely with ADAS developers, simulation engineers, systems engineering, and infrastructure teams to align on requirements and ensure solutions integrate smoothly into the broader development ecosystem.
Minimum Qualifications
7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years in an engineering leadership role. Proven track record of delivering production-ready backend systems, developer tools, or data processing pipelines. Experience designing scalable, maintainable systems using best practices in modularity, testing, observability, and CI/CD. Familiarity with modern cloud-based development practices and services (e.g., AWS Lambda, Step Functions, container orchestration, or similar). Practical experience with Python and related ecosystems, and familiarity with orchestration frameworks, data pipelines, or distributed compute platforms. Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to align engineering direction with product and organizational goals.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience working on or integrating with simulation systems or building tools for simulation-based testing. Background in data engineering or data science, especially working with large-scale log data or performance metrics. Familiarity with verification and validation (V&V) methodologies, including test strategy development, regression analysis, and requirements-driven testing. Experience building developer-facing frameworks that support data analysis. Experience in ADAS, autonomy, robotics, or other safety-critical software domains. Collaborative experience with globally distributed teams or external partners working on shared evaluation frameworks and KPIs.
For positions based in Palo Alto, CA, the base pay for this position ranges from $161,000- $264,500 a year.
Your base salary is one part of your total compensation. We offer a base salary, short term and long term incentives, and a comprehensive benefits package. The total compensation offered to an employee will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications, location, and level.
