Vehicle Platform Systems Engineer

Woven by Toyota

Woven by Toyota

Software Engineering
Ann Arbor, MI, USA
Posted on Aug 31, 2025
Apply now
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 Woven by Toyota Vehicle Systems Engineering team is dedicated to innovating, developing, and managing advanced vehicle technologies that prioritize safety and drive forward next-generation mobility solutions. We leverage a systems-thinking approach to define, integrate, and validate complex automotive platforms—uniting hardware, software, and cloud solutions to deliver high-value features for our customers. The Vehicle Platform group works cross-functionally with product, engineering, and operations teams to deliver robust, production-ready vehicle architectures built for scale and advanced functionality.
Role Overview
As a Vehicle Platform Systems Engineer, you will own the end-to-end systems engineering process for next-generation automotive platforms. You’ll be responsible for translating business and product requirements into system architectures, collaborating across multidisciplinary teams (Software, Hardware, Product Management) to deliver reliable, scalable, and compliant platforms ready for integration with automated driving, connectivity, and mobility-as-a-service features. Your work will directly impact the performance, safety, and continuous improvement of Woven by Toyota’s mobility ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, document, and maintain system-level vehicle platform requirements and decompose them into sub-system (e.g., ECU, sensor, communication, HMI, compute) requirements.
  • Support development of the systems engineering V-model process for the vehicle platform lifecycle: from architecture, requirements, and design, through verification, validation, and support for launch.
  • Manage interface definitions and technical risks, ensuring robust connectivity between vehicle electronics, software, and cloud-based components.
  • Support the definition of system architecture diagrams, data flows, and technical budgets to achieve desired system performance, safety, and serviceability.
  • Own the execution of system and subsystem-level analysis, including trade studies on sensors, compute, network, and vehicle mechanical integration.
  • Define, plan, and support execution of verification and validation activities, including bench, simulation, and vehicle-level tests.
  • Collaborate closely with technical program managers, product owners, and engineering leads to ensure smooth transition from research concepts to productized deployment.
  • Lead and participate in technical design reviews, both internally and with suppliers or external partners.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Materials, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering field.
  • 6+ years of professional experience in complex systems development, preferably in the automotive, robotics, or embedded domains.
  • Demonstrated experience with requirements engineering, system architecture, systems integration, and verification/validation processes.
  • Strong understanding of vehicle electronics (ECU, sensors, actuators), functional safety standards, and typical automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet)
  • Experience conducting technical trade studies and working cross-functionally in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Hands-on experience with system and vehicle-level testing, debugging, and launching safety-critical products.
  • Excellent documentation and technical communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in the design and launch of vehicle platforms supporting advanced driver assistance (ADAS), autonomous driving, or connected vehicle features.
  • Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD processes for embedded and vehicle systems, and enterprise-grade security and compliance.
  • Familiarity with deployment of Platform as a Service infrastructures, or large-scale distributed architectures in an enterprise or automotive environment.
  • Exposure to model-based design, simulation, or virtual vehicle platform architectures.
