Senior Engineering Manager – Test and Evaluation Tools

Woven by Toyota is the mobility technology subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Our mission is to deliver safe, intelligent, human-centered mobility for all. Through our Arene mobility software platform, safety-first automated driving technology and Toyota Woven City — our test course for advanced mobility — we’re bringing greater freedom, safety and happiness to people and society.

Our unique global culture weaves modern Silicon Valley innovation and time-tested Japanese quality craftsmanship. We leverage these complementary strengths to amplify the capabilities of drivers, foster happiness, and elevate well-being.

Team

The Simulation & Evaluation Tooling team plays a key role in supporting the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) at our company. We provide the core capabilities to simulate ADAS software and evaluate its performance using data from real-world drives, ground truth systems, and simulations.

Our mission is to deliver scalable tools and workflows that enable rapid, high-confidence development of ADAS features. This includes simulation integration, data pipelines, analysis tooling, and developer-facing web applications. We partner closely with ADAS developers, systems engineering, release, and infrastructure teams to provide intuitive workflows that support testing at scale and insight generation from real-world and simulated data.

Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on delivering workflows that enable high-confidence testing and evaluation of ADAS systems. Your team will build the evaluation framework and test automation tools that help developers:

• Run large-scale simulations and evaluations
• Debug issues using real-world and simulated data
• Measure performance against functional and behavioral requirements
• Explore and interpret test results across scenarios, datasets, and development fleet data
  
  

This is a highly cross-functional role where success depends on close collaboration with simulation engineers, ADAS developers, systems engineering, and release teams. Your team will build developer-facing tools that are modular, testable, and maintainable—while operating efficiently at cloud scale using modern cloud-native services.

The ideal candidate brings strong technical leadership, a systems mindset, and experience building reliable, data-driven backend systems at scale. You’ll guide a multidisciplinary team through architectural and execution decisions, while upleveling engineering practices and aligning with long-term product goals.

Responsibilities

• Lead and Grow the Team – Hire, mentor, and support a high-performing team focused on building evaluation tools and testing workflows for ADAS development.
• Deliver Scalable Developer Workflows – Build systems that enable large-scale simulation and log evaluation across real-world and synthetic scenarios.
• Develop and Maintain the Evaluation Framework – Provide core capabilities for loading, enriching, and evaluating drive logs and simulation data, while enabling developers to define and deploy their own evaluation logic.
• Support Insight and Analysis – Build tools and pipelines that allow teams to explore, interpret, and visualize results across structured simulation tests and development fleet data.
• Uplevel Engineering Practices – Drive improvements in modularity, observability, testability of critical developer workflows.
• Collaborate Across Functions – Work closely with ADAS developers, simulation engineers, systems engineering, and infrastructure teams to align on requirements and ensure solutions integrate smoothly into the broader development ecosystem.
  
  

Minimum Qualifications

• 7 years of professional software engineering experience, including 2 years in an engineering leadership role
• Proven track record of delivering production-ready backend systems, developer tools, or data processing pipelines
• Experience designing scalable, maintainable systems using best practices in modularity, testing, observability, and CI/CD
• Familiarity with modern cloud-based development practices and services (e.g., AWS Lambda, Step Functions, container orchestration, or similar)
• Practical experience with Python and related ecosystems, and familiarity with technologies such as job orchestration frameworks, data pipelines, or distributed compute platforms
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to align engineering direction with product and organizational goals
  
  

Nice to Haves

• Experience working on or integrating with simulation systems or building tools for simulation-based testing
• Background in data engineering or data science, especially working with large-scale log data or performance metrics
• Familiarity with verification and validation (V&V) methodologies, including test strategy development, regression analysis, and requirements-driven testing
• Experience building developer-facing frameworks that support authoring and deployment of analysis or metrics logic
• Experience in ADAS, autonomy, robotics, or other safety-critical software domains
• Collaborative experience with globally distributed teams or external partners working on shared evaluation frameworks and KPIs
