Software Engineering Intern - Machine Learning Platform

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

We work on the ML training and deployment ecosystem in AD/ADAS. You will be embedded within the Automated and Assisted Driving Team, and alongside other teammates, work directly with Autonomy ML engineers in Perception and Planning to accelerate development and deployment of ML models. Our mission is to provide scalable, reliable, and cost effective frameworks that enable fast delivery of high quality ML models, from data curation all the way to push button model deployment.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a software intern who is passionate about large scale ML infrastructure systems, and is excited about improving reliability and speed of our ML development process by bringing state of the art insights from the broader ML community. You are excited about leveraging your first-hand experience in training ML models toward identifying and improving impactful infrastructure components. Your role would involve improving our dataset creation workflows, distributed training infrastructure, and efficiency of our metrics pipeline.

You would have the chance to impact the core infrastructure that is heavily used by all AD/ADAS ML engineers on a daily basis. You will collaborate closely with one of our senior engineers, and receive feedback not only from other teammates, but also from ML engineers who will be using your product, so you can make it better along the way!
