Jobs at Toyota Research Institute

As a People Partner at TRI, you will develop people strategies, guide organizational design, coach leaders, and support change management initiatives to enhance team effectiveness and alignment with business goals.

Lead development of sensor- and system-level simulation workflows for end-to-end autonomy: build visually realistic simulators, integrate third-party simulators, generate synthetic data, curate scenarios, log large-scale virtual tests, create diagnostic tooling and analysis pipelines, collaborate across autonomy, ML, and integration teams, and mentor engineers to close the gap between simulation and on-vehicle deployment.

The VC Associate will source and screen innovative companies, participate in due diligence, prepare investment memos, and support deal negotiations while networking within the startup ecosystem.

Paid 12-week hybrid Ph.D. research internship conducting original ML research for world models and autonomous driving. Responsibilities include designing, training, and evaluating models (world modeling, model-based RL, 3D perception), prototyping in closed-loop simulation and hardware, working with large datasets, collaborating with researchers, and publishing results.

The internship involves researching emotional labor in difficult workplace conversations, evaluating AI platforms, and prototyping solutions within an interdisciplinary team focused on organizational behavior and wellbeing.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will integrate and deploy advanced autonomy systems while collaborating across teams to ensure robust software performance in drivers and simulations.

As a Senior Data Engineer at TRI, you will design and build robust data infrastructure and pipelines to support autonomy research and simulation workflows.
