The Role
Build and optimize scalable data pipelines that ingest autonomous-vehicle sensor data, localize it against HD maps, and produce high-quality labels. Develop workflow orchestration, data models, testing strategies, and production tooling. Investigate pipeline issues, support reliable releases, and own features from design through documentation. Collaborate with ML, robotics, data engineering, annotation, product, and mapping teams.
Summary Generated by Built In
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 Data & Labeling Services (DLS) team within AD/ADAS at Woven by Toyota generates, validates, and delivers structured, high-quality offline perception and map data. This data supports autonomy development, evaluation, and training through efficient auto-labeling, rigorous quality assurance, and actionable data science insights. The candidate will join the Label Production team and collaborate closely with perception and ML teams across Woven.


WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for a curious and motivated software engineer who is excited to help build and operate scalable production pipelines that turn autonomous vehicle sensor data into high-value labels with high-definition map features for cutting-edge ML models. If you are naturally inquisitive, eager to learn, independent yet deeply collaborative, and passionate about technology’s potential, you will thrive here. You will work at the intersection of data engineering, workflow orchestration, and geospatial algorithms, owning components end-to-end while learning alongside experienced perception, ML, and data teams. We value a strong growth mindset and team-first attitude over a set number of years on a resume.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Data and pipeline engineering

  • Contribute to building and optimizing end-to-end data pipelines that ingest real vehicle data and localize it against HD maps.

  • Learn to build and maintain workflow orchestration for long-running production jobs, focusing on reliability and efficiency.

  • Collaborate on designing clean data models, schemas, and tooling that enable adjacent teams to access insights easily.

  • Quality, testing, and operations

  • Learn and apply robust testing strategies across data pipelines, including unit, integration, and regression testing.

  • Participate in root-cause analysis for pipeline issues, helping ensure system health and smooth releases.

  • Collaboration & Ownership

  • Work closely with ML/robotics/data engineers, data annotators, product managers, and map vendors to align on workflows and requirements.

  • Take ownership of end-to-end features, from initial technical design to documentation and release.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (MS/PhD preferred but not required), or equivalent practical experience.

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience building backend services and data pipelines.

  • Strong proficiency in Python and basic knowledge of SQL.

  • Strong problem-solving ability and an eager, growth-oriented mindset.

  • Proficiency with Git for version control in a collaborative, review-based workflow.

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, with a preference for AWS, plus Docker and CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions.

  • Demonstrated passion for backend software development and data engineering.

  • Great team player with solid written and verbal communication skills.

NICE TO HAVES

  • Background or strong interest in autonomous driving, robotics, or geospatial mapping technologies.

  • Hands-on experience with geospatial data formats (e.g., GeoPackage), spatial indexing (e.g., KD-trees), desktop GIS tools (e.g., QGIS), and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).

  • Understanding of 3D geometric coordinate transformations, spatial data processing, and 3D visualization.

  • Familiarity with multimodal 3D sensor modalities and calibration techniques (e.g., Cameras, LiDAR, IMU).

  • Enthusiasm for leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to accelerate developer velocity.
