About the role

Original posting from Woven By Toyota via Lever

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

Arene’s goal is to open vehicle programming to everyone by simplifying vehicle software development and increasing deployment frequency without compromising safety and security. This will create a whole new market of vehicle application developers who, through software, integrate a vehicle into our daily lives in novel ways. Arene aims to significantly improve how vehicles are designed and developed, and we’re working closely with Toyota to realize this goal in its next-generation vehicles.

A major component of the Arene Engineering team’s mission is to streamline software delivery and enhance operational speed in the automotive industry by developing innovative test, emulation, and simulation systems. We aim to facilitate quicker software releases and elevate the overall quality of automotive solutions, maintaining an uncompromised commitment to safety. The Arene organization is growing, and we are establishing an engineering center in London, UK, to strengthen our global team.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for software engineers who are excited to help build a state-of-the-art automotive platform that is “software first”. We envision the Arene platform will change the way vehicles are made. The ideal candidate will have a passion for technology and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Our team is developing tools and systems using modern software techniques. We need software engineers who excel at building robust software systems to solve challenging problems at scale. 

The ideal candidate would have a considerable background in developing complex software with modern C++ over embedded systems.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

-

Implement, deliver and refine Arene SDK software components for users to interact seamlessly with the vehicle systems

-

Design and implement abstraction layers to enable hardware-agnostic software platforms using modern C++ concepts

-

Collaborate with global teams to accelerate and improve Arene software development

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

-

At least 2 years of experience with modern C++ (C++14/17 and above).

-

Experience delivering software for similar safety and quality driven domains (automotive, aerospace, robotics, medical, military, etc.)

-

Experience with embedded systems and resource-constrained computing environments

-

Expertise with a wide range of computing architectures (SoC, MCU, CPU)

-

Knowledge and experience with RTOS and POSIX/Linux operating systems

-

Knowledge and experience with interfaces and protocols used in embedded systems (SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, MIPI)

-

Experience with emulation platforms like QEMU

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

-

Knowledge and working experience in C and Python programming.

-

Linux kernel development experience and driver development for Linux

-

Knowledge or experience with safety (i.e ISO 26262, ISO 21448, IEC 61508, DO-178, ECSS-Q-ST-80) and security (i.e. ISO 21434) standards.
