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 AD/ADAS Technical Project Management (TPM) Team’s goal is to enable the successful delivery of technology from the engineering organization to achieve business goals. The TPM function in WbyT’s AD/ADAS organization is a partner to the Engineering and Product functions and owns the technical execution of the AD/ADAS portfolio, maintaining the organization’s plan of record and ensuring execution velocity and agility of a highly cross-functional engineering team distributed across multiple locations.

The TPMs in the team come from a mix of hardware, vehicle, and software backgrounds but we all share a common drive to enable the delivery of complex technical engineering products to the world. We are problem solvers who make things happen by setting and communicating clear goals and supporting engineering teams to deliver the best safety-critical autonomy through the technical and organizational complexity.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

For this position, we are looking for a TPM to expand the team's capacity to tackle the complexity of our growing autonomy program portfolio and maintain the highest standard of execution rigor within the engineering organization. You will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of one of our key projects contributing to the overall AD/ADAS product, in close collaboration with engineering and product leadership.

You should be highly motivated by the challenge of shipping complex technology programs to market, solving interdisciplinary problems with a strong focus on execution. You excel in navigating ambiguity and driving engineering teams through it by establishing structure and frameworks. The role requires deep technical expertise to directly shape and mitigate risks in technical execution, coupled with a genuine interest in solving organizational complexity that comes from the human dimension.

The position requires a passion for contributing to the TPM practice. You'll be working closely with other TPMs to foster a safe and inclusive environment, to continuously improve and expand the TPM tools and frameworks, and enable and scale cross-functional collaboration across the entire AD/ADAS organization.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Establish and manage projects across the AD/ADAS Development Ecosystem group, including Simulation, Development Operations, to provide a robust and efficient development platform that supports the end-to-end lifecycle of autonomy software development.
Partner with engineering and product leadership to deliver strategic cross-functional initiatives from concept to launch.
Create and maintain a documented plan for project execution and risk management at various timescales (sprint, quarter, year) while integrating roadmaps into a unified end-to-end plan.
Drive day-to-day high-velocity execution of project plans while resolving cross-functional dependencies and blockers, managing risks, and enabling timely and collaborative decision making across all functional areas.
Identify and resolve systemic issues impacting the organization’s focus, transparency, communication, visibility, and accountability to build a highly collaborative cross-functional environment.
Contribute to the Technical Project Management practice in collaboration with other TPMs to evolve the TPM toolkit, adjust processes to the organization's needs, mentor and help grow other TPMs.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

3+ years technical project management experience in at least one of the following fields: software engineering, automotive, aerospace, robotics, or in high-velocity startups.
Proven track record of leading projects to successful delivery across a large and cross-functional engineering organization.
Experience driving technical projects in ambiguity, with only high-level direction across distributed teams and diverse business cultures.
Experience with establishing and evolving project operations and decision-making structures, adapting to team culture and operating constraints
Knowledge of software product engineering, integration, release, testing, and validation
Hands-on experience in the development of projects aimed for AD/ADAS Automotive OEMs vehicle platforms.

NICE TO HAVES

Experience in Autonomous Vehicle programs, in Automotive, or OEM/Tier-1 environments
Management experience of Technical Project Managers
PMP/PMI or other Project Management certifications are welcome
