Join the team that’s shaping the future of autonomous robotics and material handling. As an R&D Software Engineer at Toyota Automated Logistics, you’ll develop the brains behind intelligent robotic systems, from low-level hardware control to high-level autonomy and perception.
You’ll work on real robots. You’ll ship real code. You’ll help launch entirely new automation products into warehouses and factories across the world.
We don’t just build software; we build the future of logistics
About Us
Toyota Automated Logistics R&D is the New Product Development (NPD) division of the company. Our mission is to develop original products that expand Toyota Automated Logistics' automation capabilities, enabling our commissioning and systems teams to deliver integrated solutions that give our customers a competitive edge.
Our ~70-person team is distributed between our Boise, Dallas, and Indianapolis offices, and includes experts in mechanical, electrical, software, and AI disciplines, all with a strong foundation in robotics technology. Beyond our Toyota Automated Logistics offices, we collaborate heavily with our Toyota family partners to innovate and share our technology globally.
Software engineers on our team are true full-stack robotics developers, with opportunities to work across the entire software stack — from high-level autonomy, AI, and perception to low-level motor control, hardware interfaces, and everything in-between. We take products from concept to production-ready designs, and we execute our software on real robot hardware in live customer environments.
Above all else, we know that our strength lies in our people. Through strong mentorship, thoughtful planning, and a supportive team culture, we create space for engineers to grow while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Your Mission
As a Software Engineer on our R&D team, you’ll help architect and implement the software that enables our robots to think, move, and interact in the real world. You’ll work closely with teammates across disciplines to build solutions that are both technically robust and practically deployable — from early design through to testing and real-world operation.
You’ll be expected to take strong ownership of your work. You'll have the opportunity to lead the design and implementation of software systems, while also engaging in pair programming, design processes, and code reviews that are core to our engineering culture. You’ll get hands-on with real hardware and test your code on live systems.
In this role, you won’t just build software. You’ll help shape how our systems behave in the real world, with the support of a team that values both innovation and thoughtful execution.
