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 Behavior team at Woven by Toyota tackles Autonomy challenges for problems in prediction and trajectory planning. Our work involves a variety of challenges, such as analyzing petabytes of multimodal driving data, solving optimization problems, minimizing latency on hardware accelerators, deploying scalable and efficient machine learning (ML) training and evaluation pipelines, and designing novel neural network architectures to advance state-of-the-art ML for Prediction and Motion Planning. We are looking for driven and creative problem solvers to join us in improving mobility for everyone with human-centered automated driving solutions for personal and commercial applications.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The Behavior team is looking for a skilled Machine Learning Engineer to help advance cutting-edge machine learning systems for prediction and motion planning in autonomous driving. You will have the chance to design and implement innovative machine learning models for our next-generation autonomous vehicle platform, influencing millions of Toyota production vehicles. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about self-driving car technology and its potential impact on humanity.

Responsibilities

  • Define the technical roadmap for the team towards short and long term development.
  • Initiate and Influence cross-functional teams towards common development goals.

  • 5+ years of experience with Python, any major deep learning framework, and software engineering best practices
  • Comfortable in writing C++ code to help integrate with our autonomous vehicle platform.
  • 5+ years of experience with deep learning approaches such as supervised / unsupervised learning, transfer learning, multi-task learning, and / or deep reinforcement learning.
  • Extensive experience with learning-based planning approaches like imitation learning, reinforcement learning and state-of-the-art techniques for sequential modeling like Transformer architectures.
  • 5+ years of experience covering machine learning workflows, data sampling and curation, pre-processing, model training, ablation studies, evaluation, deployment, and inference optimization.
  • Passionate about self-driving car technology and its potential for humanity.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to communicate concepts clearly and precisely.
  • NICE TO HAVES

  • Published research at top-tier conferences (NeurIPs, RSS, IROS, ICRA, and similar).
  • Proven track record of deploying ML models at scale in self-driving or related fields.
  • Familiarity with production-level coding in time-limited task schedules.
  • Experience with robot motion planning (e.g., trajectory optimization, sampling-based planning, model predictive control)
  • Experience with temporal data and / or sequential modeling.
  • Experience in self-driving challenges (Perception, Prediction, Planning, Simulation).
  • 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.
