About the Role
We are the first-line of defense for safety + security + quality of AD/ADAS software at Woven by Toyota. Partnering with feature, systems, safety, cybersecurity and machine-learning teams, we turn prototypes into production-intent, standards-compliant software that can be trusted on public roads. Our mandate flows directly from Woven’s commitment to “zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.” We are looking for a systems-minded safety engineer who can turn safety goals into a concrete, verifiable design that ships. You thrive at the intersection of system architecture and implementation: allocating safety requirements, defining technical safety concepts, and ensuring the right mechanisms, monitors, and validations exist in software to meet safety targets. This is a senior individual contributor role with deep hands-on engagement across AD/ADAS feature teams, Systems Engineering, V&V, and ML Safety. You bring rigor, traceability, and practical judgment to make our internal product demonstrably safe for mass production.
Responsibilities
- Allocate safety requirements (system → software component) with clear interfaces, state machines, timing/resource budgets, and acceptance criteria
- Define and guide implementation of safety mechanisms (e.g., diagnostics, redundancy, watchdogs, plausibility checks, safety envelope monitors, degraded modes/safe states) and ensure their effectiveness is verified
- Partner with V&V to design safety verification strategies (unit/integration/system/HIL/vehicle), derive objective pass/fail criteria and safety KPIs, and ensure evidence completeness for the Safety Case
- Contribute evidence and risk assessments to the Safety Case and present rationale/evidence to internal/external stakeholders and auditors
- Lead/participate in analyses (FMEA/FMEDA, FTA, interface hazard reviews, resource/timing analyses) and feed findings into design updates and confirmation measures
- Collaborate tightly with Safety Architecture (for HARA/goal setting/ASIL decomposition), Systems Engineering (for architecture cohesion and ICDs), ML Safety (for data/ODD/monitoring strategies), and Cybersecurity (for safety–security co-engineering)
- Drive change impact analysis for CRs, deviations, and waivers to preserve safety intent and traceability across releases
- Conduct focused reviews on requirements, designs, and test plans to close gaps quickly
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in CS, EE, ME or related discipline
- 5+ years in safety-critical automotive or aerospace systems in a production environment
- Demonstrated ownership of technical safety concepts and requirement allocations that went to production ECUs
- Deep, practical experience with ISO 26262 (esp. Parts 3–6) and familiarity with SOTIF (ISO 21448)
- Hands-on collaboration with V&V, including HIL/vehicle test design, coverage tactics, and KPI definition
- Working knowledge of embedded software fundamentals (C/C++ reading proficiency, Python for analysis/prototyping), and common automotive interfaces (CAN, SOME/IP)
- Excellent cross-functional communication, influence, and documentation skills
