Engineer - Integrated Vehicle Systems

ng Systems (ADS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). If you're a hands-on software design engineer with passion for next-generation technology and an interest in automotive, this role is for you! This role requires software engineering skills with customer-focused thinking, partnership with teams internal and external to Toyota, and the ability to work iteratively. Flexibility and passion are a must. We pride ourselves on having fun while developing cool stuff.

The primary responsibility of this role is to support the development of Toyota's ADSs through system development, software development, and validation related to items such as recognition, mapping, localization, path planning, and vehicle control.

Reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager, the person in this role will support the IVS department's objective to research, develop, validate and implement innovative ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance Systems) and ADS technologies.

What you'll be doing

As Software Design Engineer in our Advanced Driving Systems (ADS) area, you'll bring our next generation product to market. Here's what you'll be doing as a member of our team:

• Developing System and Software Architecture for new ADAS features

• Develop Software: Use iterative processes to design algorithms and software using Python, C/C++, MATLAB/Simulink.

• Provide data-driven proposals for new ADS and ADAS features, subsequently supported by software implementations of the proposed algorithms.

• Develop simulation environment (Hardware in the loop and/or Software in the loop) and integrate software testing processes and tools to facilitate automated testing. Analyze data with automated quantitative methods to enable visualized tracking of performance indicators for decision making.

• Identify customer needs for ADAS through data driven assessment of technology, market, and social trends. Propose and develop innovative ADAS to commercialize high value customer needs.

• Facilitate daily communication with Japanese counterparts to align global activities and drive consensus building.

• Summarize data logically to create easy-to-understand visualized reports for technical storytelling. Communicate proactively with stakeholders and Management toward building consensus.

• Collaborate with different IVS groups to gather key information or tasks to support production design and evaluation groups of future ADS features.

• Form partnerships with stakeholders across the division to realize efficiencies through best practices in software engineering.

• Drive prototype vehicles in simulated, closed track, and public road environments including the ability to gain necessary driver certifications.

What you bring

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, robotics, or computer science, or equivalent bachelor's degree.
