Senior Integration Software Engineer, Arene Applied Engineering

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 Applied Engineering is a diverse team of engineers dedicated to helping Toyota build software defined vehicles utilizing the Arene platform and tools. Our work begins with a deep understanding of our Toyota customers—their objectives, challenges, workflows, and technical environments. We partner closely with them to identify pain points, evaluate opportunities, and translate their needs into clear product direction and engineering requirements.

In addition to shaping product direction, we develop targeted solutions that help customers make effective use of the existing Arene platform and tools. We work across teams to ensure that our solutions are reliable, maintainable, secure, fully integrated, and ready to operate in production environments. We take ownership from initial discovery through deployment and ongoing improvement. Our goal is not only to solve individual problems, but to create solutions that scale across Toyota and strengthen the overall Arene ecosystem.

We are a collaborative, hands-on, and customer-focused team that values technical rigor, practical problem-solving, clear communication, and end-to-end ownership.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Integration Software Engineer to design, develop, test, and deliver robust software solutions for complex technical challenges. This role is ideal for an engineer with strong C++ and Python expertise, excellent debugging instincts, and the ability to turn evolving needs into practical, scalable systems.

The successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic environment where information may be incomplete or rapidly changing. They will confidently identify opportunities, clarify and shape requirements, evaluate technical trade-offs, and independently deliver high-quality solutions with minimal day-to-day oversight.

Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and deploy high-quality software using C++ and Python.
• Design integrated solutions that bring together multiple technologies and systems to be scalable, maintainable and reliable. Verify those solutions with automated testing and validation strategies, including unit, integration, and system-level tests.
• Diagnose, debug, and resolve complex software and system-level issues across distributed environments.
• Provision, maintain, and utilize Linux-based development and testing environments.
• Own software solutions throughout the full software development lifecycle, including requirements definition, architecture, implementation, code review, testing, validation, release, and ongoing support.
• Translate emerging operational, engineering, and stakeholder needs into clear technical requirements and actionable development plans.
• Evaluate technical risks, make sound engineering trade-offs, and communicate recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Collaborate with engineering teams to deliver solutions.
• Work independently, manage priorities effectively, and take ownership of outcomes from initial concept through successful implementation.

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in software development with C++ and Python.
• Bachelor or Masters degree in computer science, embedded engineering, or similar domain.
• Demonstrated ownership of designing and implementing software for complex and distributed systems, including containerization, networked services, APIs, messaging, concurrent processing, or data pipelines.
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills, including the ability to investigate complex issues across software, infrastructure, interfaces, and system dependencies.
• Strong experience with software testing and validation, including automated testing frameworks and test-driven or quality-focused development practices.
• Demonstrated understanding of software engineering principles, including object-oriented design, modularity, maintainability, performance, and secure coding practices.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, information-limited environment and transform ambiguity into clear, practical solutions.
• Proven ability to work with limited direct oversight, exercise sound judgement, take initiative, and deliver results.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to engage diverse technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with source control, code review, and continuous integration/continuous deployment practices.
• Familiarity with embedded system development: Yocto linux, device drivers, and hardware debugging.
• Familiarity with performance profiling, observability, logging, monitoring, and reliability engineering.
• Experience leading technical design discussions, mentoring engineers, or serving as a technical owner for complex software components.

Desired Characteristics

• Curious, adaptable, and proactive in seeking information and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Practical and delivery-focused, with a strong commitment to software quality and user outcomes.
• Able to bridge disciplines and technologies to develop integrated solutions that solve real-world problems.
• Comfortable demonstrating and explaining work to peers or other audiences.
