TEAM
Product Integrity
We are the first-line of defense for safety + security + quality of automated driving software at Woven by Toyota. Partnering with feature, systems, safety, cybersecurity and machine-learning teams, we turn prototypes into production-intent, standards-compliant software that can be trusted on public roads. Our mandate flows directly from Woven’s commitment to “zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.”
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
A safety-minded systems engineer who can execute our safety case strategy for both public roads development testing and production. You thrive at the intersection of technical leadership and risk management: aligning leadership on strong claims and argumentation, guiding cross-functional teams to provide supporting evidence, and aggregate risks for informed release decisions. This is a senior individual contributor role with deep hands-on engagement across automated driving feature teams, Systems Engineering, AI Safety, HW, operational safety, and compliance. You bring rigor, consistency, and practical judgment to make our internal product demonstrably safe for mass production.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Write safety claims and defeaters using eliminative argumentation
Manage democratized ownership of evidence across cross-functional teams including providing guidance on what evidence and strategies are appropriate for the claim/defeater.
Assess inherent and residual risks as well as create a methodology to aggregate risks across different risk dimensions, e.g. motorway vs urban.
Work with cross-functional leadership to align on the safety case and clearly communicate risks for informed decision-making on whether to release software to development fleets and/or to mass-production.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s or Master’s in CS, EE, ME or related discipline.
5+ years in safety-critical automotive or aerospace systems in a production environment.
Hands-on experience with writing claims/defeaters, contributing evidence and risk assessments for safety cases.
Deep, practical experience with automotive safety standards such as ISO 26262 (esp. Parts 3–6) , SOTIF (ISO 21448), ISO 8800 (AI Safety), or UL 4600.
Experience communicating complex technical concepts to internal/external stakeholders and auditors.
Hands-on collaboration with V&V, including HIL/vehicle test design, coverage tactics, and KPI definition.
Excellent cross-functional communication, influence, and documentation skills.
NICE TO HAVES
Experience with safety cases used for mass-production or L4 autonomous vehicle deployments.
Familiar with international regulatory compliance requirements
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. The total compensation offered to an employee will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications, location, and level.
