Job Description
At Toyota Research Institute (TRI) were on a mission to improve the quality of human life. Were developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility weve built a world-class team in Automated Driving Energy & Materials Human-Centered AI Human Interactive Driving Large Behavioral Models and Robotics.
The Automated Driving Advanced Development division at TRI will focus on enabling innovation and transformation at Toyota by building a bridge between TRI research and Toyota products services and needs. We achieve this through partnership collaboration and shared commitment. This new division is leading a new cross-organizational project between TRI and Woven by Toyota to conduct research and develop a fully end-to-end learned driving stack. This cross-org collaborative project is harmonious with TRIs robotics divisions efforts in Diffusion Policy and Large Behavior Models.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our end-to-end automated driving team supporting the integration prototyping and deployment of advanced autonomy systems on vehicle platforms. As a software generalist with deep systems knowledge you will work across the autonomy software stack to accelerate feature development streamline system-level integration and help validate both closed-course and public road deployments.
The ideal candidate has strong modern C (C14/17/20) and Python programming experience a robust understanding of robotics or embedded software systems and thrives in collaborative high-velocity engineering environments. This role bridges research and real-world deployment focusing on engineering support for platform integration evaluation tooling system bring-up and diagnostics. Youll partner closely with end-to-end machine learning simulation and infrastructure teams to ensure that the full stack runs robustly on real vehicles in closed-course public road and simulation testing.
This work is part of Toyotas global AI efforts and will be conducted in close collaboration with teams across TRI Woven by Toyota and other engineering partners.
Responsibilities
- Design implement and maintain robust software in C and Python enabling seamless integration of autonomy stack components across simulation and real-world vehicle platforms.
- Collaborate with researchers and engineers to debug validate and bring up autonomy features in closed-course and public road driving environments.
- Build diagnostics monitoring logging and introspection tools that provide insight into real-time end-to-end machine learning model behavior and help accelerate iteration.
- Contribute to scenario test harnesses CI pipelines and integration frameworks helping scale automated testing and analysis.
- Own platform-specific adaptations for simulation and vehicle deployment including launch configuration sensor interface wrapping and runtime parameterization.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to support software deployment and versioning ensuring consistent behavior across environments.

- Strong proficiency in modern C (C14/17/20) and Python.
- Familiarity with Linux systems programming (e.g. sockets filesystems threading) and real-time systems.
- Experience integrating and debugging complex software systems ideally in robotic or automated driving platforms.
- Proven track record to work hands-on and cross-functionally to tackle real-world deployment issues.
- Comfortable working with interfaces such as CAN Ethernet or middleware frameworks.
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience in automated driving robotics or simulation-based system testing.
- Hands-on experience with embedded systems development including work on platforms such as NVIDIA Jetson Orin Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride or similar automotive-grade SoCs.
- Familiarity with container orchestration (Docker Kubernetes) or orchestration tools for testing and deployment.
- Experience working with distributed compute systems large-scale data logging or introspection frameworks.
- Understanding of automotive software practices and standards (e.g. ISO 26262 safety-critical development).
- Prior experience in fast-paced R&D environments bridging research and production.
