About Woven by Toyota
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 Human System Integration team is developing the human machine interface (HMI), which helps ensure that drivers can use advanced driver assistance systems safely and securely. As ADAS systems replace human cognition, judgment, and operation, we aim to promote mutual understanding between the car and humans so that the driver can understand the intentions and actions of the system, drive safely, and feel confident in the features and interface. HMI development has many driver features and directly contributes to the improvement of the car's product appeal, thus making a significant contribution to car manufacturing.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You will develop HMI control applications to cover advanced driver assistance systems.
