Job description

Integrated Vehicle Systems (IVS) Department is looking for a passionate and highly-motivated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Engineer.

The primary responsibility of this role is to manage, develop, and evaluate next-generation ADAS features.

Reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager, the person in this role will support the IVS department's objective to research, develop, evaluate and bring to market innovative ADAS technologies.

What you’ll be doing

• Plan structure of parts and systems through target setting, packaging, electrical interface definition, and parameter setting.
• Accountable for following department processes, meeting deadlines, and error-free output for parts development of the group (E.g., Parts Lists, Wire Specifications, Part Specifications.).
• For specified vehicle projects, responsible for identifying and developing products through project-related milestones in cooperation with related groups.
• Accountable for the development of ADAS parts within concurrent minor and major changes.
• Create and maintain part development schedule through to SOP (Start of Production). Conduct schedule negotiations within Automated & Electronics Systems department and suppliers. Assess and develop risk management activities to maintain project targets; i.e., performance, cost, mass, quality, user experience. Make proposals and recommendations to recover.
• Participate in evaluation and manufacturing activities at the event location.
• Communicate between various Toyota Design Center's Engineering Staff. Facilitate regular communication with Toyota Japan counterparts.
• Support and develop TMNA’s growth and responsibility in developing ADAS systems.
