About Woven by Toyota
Woven by Toyota is enabling Toyota’s once-in-a-century transformation into a mobility company. Inspired by a legacy of innovating for the benefit of others, our mission is to challenge the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation — expanding what “mobility” means and how it serves society.
Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we’re working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.
TEAM: Toyota is redefining what it means to move. We're challenging the current state of mobility by enhancing the movement of people, goods, information and energy. Centered around three core concepts - A Living Laboratory™, Human-Centered, and Ever Evolving City™ - Woven City serves as a test course for mobility to fulfill our purpose of well-being for all.
We do this by bringing together a diverse community of people with a shared passion for the future of mobility to co-create, develop and refine innovative products and services. This cross-section of social infrastructure, mobility, and people provides a unique opportunity for inventors, residents and visitors to interact seamlessly with new technologies throughout daily life in an environment that emulates a real city.
You will join a team responsible for driving the business development and commercialization of new EV and energy services that connect electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and energy management. Working closely with the business lead and product lead, you will play a central role in providing technical support for business development and sales activities.
You will translate customers’ business challenges and technical requirements—including EV chargers, V2X (V2H/V2B/V2G), photovoltaic (PV) systems, and energy management system (EMS) integration—into optimal solution proposals. You will collaborate closely with Business Development, Sales, installation contractors, EPC partners, equipment manufacturers, and electric utilities to assess technical feasibility, support customer proposals, and facilitate smooth project implementation.
You will also contribute to defining requirements for and developing digital tools that enable partners—including installation contractors, EPCs, and sales agents—to efficiently conduct site surveys, design electrical systems, and prepare customer proposals. Working alongside software engineers and product managers, you will translate field knowledge—including installation and proposal workflows, electrical system design rules, regulatory requirements, and grid-interconnection requirements—into scalable solutions.
This position offers the opportunity to contribute to both customer-facing technical sales and product development, while leveraging Toyota’s mobility assets and Woven City’s Living Laboratory™ environment to scale EV and energy businesses.
