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.
About the Team
This role sits within the Carbon Neutral Strategy (CNS) team in the Energy and Materials (E&M) division. CNS operates at the intersection of technology, business, and policy to inform decarbonization and circularity strategy across the Toyota ecosystem.
We combine energy systems modeling, machine learning, and real-world data to inform decisions around vehicle circularity, electrification and EV adoption, energy infrastructure and grid interaction, and policy analysis. While based in the U.S., our scope is global. We collaborate closely with TRI researchers across robotics, materials science, and behavioral science, as well as Toyota business leaders, policy teams, and external research partners.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Data Engineer to design and build the data systems that power advanced analytics, forecasting, and AI-driven research across CNS. You will define how data flows through the team, from fragmented sources to reliable datasets used in predictive modeling, scenario analysis, and LLM-enabled workflows. This role requires balancing strong engineering fundamentals with the flexibility to support rapid research iteration in a fast-evolving AI and sustainability landscape.
You will partner with ML researchers, technical leads, and research scientists at TRI to translate evolving research needs into robust data systems. You will also collaborate with Toyota partners on data access, governance, and use.
