At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built a world-class team advancing the state of the art in AI, robotics, driving, and material sciences.      The Automated Driving Advanced Development division at TRI will focus on enabling innovation and transformation at Toyota by building a bridge between TRI research and Toyota products, services, and needs. We achieve this through partnership, collaboration, and shared commitment. This new division is leading a new cross-organizational project between TRI and Woven by Toyota to conduct research and develop a fully end-to-end learned driving stack. This cross-org collaborative project is harmonious with TRI’s robotics divisions' efforts in Diffusion Policy and Large Behavior Models.     We are seeking a Senior Simulation Engineer to lead the development of sensor and system-level simulation workflows that support both closed-loop validation and synthetic data generation for training. In this role, you'll help build the simulated environments, data pipelines, and interfaces required to evaluate and improve our full-stack driving policy under diverse, realistic conditions.     This role is not limited to simulation infrastructure or tooling. Instead, you will focus on functional validation of learned behaviors, scalable synthetic data generation, and the seamless integration of state-of-the-art simulation technologies to support both training and evaluation workflows. You will also play a key role in driving cross-functional alignment between autonomy, platform, ML infrastructure, and integration teams. This work is part of Toyota’s global AI efforts and will be conducted in close collaboration with teams across TRI, Woven by Toyota, and other engineering partners.
