Senior Program Manager - Development Ecosystem

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.

The AD/ADAS Project Management Team’s goal is to enable the successful delivery of technology from the engineering organization to achieve business goals. The Project Management function in Woven By Toyota’s (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.

 

Our team members come from a mix of Autonomy, off-board ecosystem, hardware and vehicle backgrounds but we all share a common drive to enable the delivery of complex and safe autonomous 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 through the technical and organizational complexity.

 

We are seeking an experienced and passionate Staff Project Manager for this position. The ideal candidate will be comfortable navigating ambiguity, engaging with leadership, and collaborating with teams across WbyT and external stakeholders to steer projects toward successful delivery.

 

You should be highly motivated by the challenge of bringing complex technology projects to market and adept at solving interdisciplinary problems with a strong focus on execution. In this role, you will work with a talented group of cross-functional stakeholders across organizations to develop execution plans that facilitate the launch of products and features.

 

This role requires deep operational expertise in the development ecosystem in support of the autonomous driving stack and product, paired with a strong cross-functional communication, and a data-driven approach to ensure continuous improvements on engineering velocity developing the autonomy stack while optimizing performance, cost, and safety. Additionally, a genuine interest in connecting the on-board software running on vehicles with the off-board stack such as simulation, data and ML infrastructure.
