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 in Energy & Materials, Human-Centered AI, Human Interactive Driving, Large Behavioral Models, and Robotics.
The Discover, Nurture, and Adopt (DNA) division at TRI focuses 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. DNA is leading a new cross-organizational project between TRI and Woven by Toyota to research and develop a fully end-to-end learned automated driving / ADAS stack. This cross-org collaborative project is synergistic with TRI’s robotics divisions' efforts in Diffusion Policy and Large Behavior Models (LBM).
We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to partner with the machine learning lead on end-to-end model development leveraging Diffusion Policy and Large Behavior Models (LBM) for automated driving. In this role, you will oversee complex, cross-organizational, and cross-functional initiatives focused on training and deploying large-scale AI models that enable robust, real-world automated driving capabilities. You will work closely with machine learning researchers, software engineers, and roboticists to drive execution, manage dependencies, and accelerate progress toward production-ready automated driving / ADAS systems.
