About the role

  • Technical manager leading Core Triage at Woven by Toyota to operationalize improvement in automated driving. Overseeing day-to-day functions and coaching a team focused on bug hygiene and triage accuracy.

Responsibilities

  • Lead day‑to‑day Core Triage operations: assign work, ensure timely triage of recent on‑road or simulation-based issues, and deliver on triage SLAs ahead of release gates and KPI reviews.
  • Ensure triage accuracy and correct root cause: establish standards, review analyses, and coach triagers on AD/ADAS system root causing across perception, localization, planning, and controls.
  • Maintain bug hygiene: ensure that the members of the triage team maintain proper bug hygiene, including deduplication and link related incidents to issue records, validate countermeasures, and drive consistent closure criteria across sites.
  • Cross‑functional prioritization: partner with Release, Vehicle Operations and software development teams to distinguish release blockers vs. milestone/demo blockers; run/participate in technical bug scrubs and KPI reviews and keep a backlog of improvement work items groomed and transparent.
  • People management: conduct regular 1:1s, performance and career development, hiring/onboarding, morale and capacity management; foster a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.
  • Process and metrics: define and track triage health metrics (e.g., time to triage, accuracy, re‑occurrence/validation rates) and drive continuous improvement of the triage pipeline.
  • Global coordination: align practices across sites (e.g., US/JP), improve communication cadence, and support validation workflows and consistent closure criteria.
  • Tooling partnership: collaborate with tooling/dashboard engineers to enhance automation (e.g., re‑simulation workflows, incident‑to‑issue linking, auto‑triage prototypes) and to scale reporting and traceability.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in AD/ADAS, robotics, or safety‑critical software operations, including hands‑on triage/root cause analysis across perception, localization, planning, and controls.
  • 2+ years of leadership (team lead or manager) in an operations or engineering context; proven ability to run day‑to‑day execution while coaching individuals and managing capacity.
  • Expert-level root cause analysis in complex, multi-component systems (AD/ADAS), with proven use of structured methods (e.g., fishbone diagrams, 5 Whys) and evidence-based reasoning to isolate faults across perception, localization, planning, and controls.
  • Demonstrated experience with incident review, triage tooling, and data visualization, as well as disciplined ticket hygiene (linkage, deduplication, validation/closure).
  • Fluency with CI/CD and release‑adjacent workflows; able to partner with Release on gates, thresholds, and blocker management.
  • Strong backlog management and cross‑team coordination skills; comfortable running recurring operational ceremonies (bug scrub, prioritization, status reviews).
  • Excellent analytical skills and rigor with metrics; ability to define and publish operational dashboards for triage performance and accuracy.

Benefits

  • Excellent health, wellness, dental and vision coverage
  • A rewarding 401k program
  • Flexible vacation policy
  • Family planning and care benefits
