Developing high-quality automated driving systems and advanced driver assistance systems (AD/ADAS) is both an urgent and complex challenge. Achieving this requires carefully designed software architecture, robust development processes, efficient testing methodologies, and a well-structured development environment.

Our mission is to establish and reinforce quality assurance through rigorous auditing methods and data analysis while ensuring that development activities are executed effectively across teams. We believe that strong collaboration, clear communication, and deep expertise in processes, tools, and development management are key to driving success.
Within this department, the Functional Safety Engineering Management team leads global technical activities related to functional safety, including high-level requirements, architecture, and validation. Our goal is to align development plans, processes, and products with Toyota’s product life cycle, ensuring we deliver solutions that meet the highest standards of Quality, Cost, and Delivery (QCD). By harmonizing processes and tools across global teams, we help drive innovation while maintaining safety and reliability at every stage of development.
