Join one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers to work on proof of concept of simulation automation and data management (setting up cloud environment , data gathering etc.)  in vehicle development transformation team.

TOYOTA is one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers and a leading global corporation. Founded in 1937. Toyota now sells vehicles in 170 countries and employs over 350.000 people. Based in Brussels, Belgium, and staffed by 2.700 people and more than 60 nationalities, Toyota Motor Europe (TME) handles the wholesale marketing of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, parts & accessories, and manages Toyota’s European R&D, manufacturing, and engineering operations.

We are excited to be transforming into a mobility company focusing on bringing even more happiness to our customers through various mobility solutions.

Team/division description

Within TME, our IT&D (Information Technology & Digital) division manages & supports all IT matters (on Application, Network and Infrastructure level) for entire Toyota in Europe, for the R&D, manufacturing and sales organisations.

Our team supports Research and development, Production Engineering, and Purchasing digitalization, which means we enable the entire vehicle development process.

Your project

You will be working on development of simulation modelling process automation and related data management in vehicle development transformation team. Simulation modelling process is fundamental for trusting simulation results for design decisions. A typical vehicle simulation model for domains like stiffness, durability, crash is composed of thousands of parts, multiple materials and connections, and it is composed by millions of elements. Traditionally, modelling requires a lot of work from specialised experts. Toyota IT&D supports the business to develop automated modelling processes that deliver high efficiency (fast modelling, limited need for human effort) with consistent quality. You will participate to the expansion of that solution, including:

• Definition of the ideal process and operation workflow clarification for one or more application scope
• Definition of the IT & cloud environment preparation (AWS or Azure) for the solution roll-out
• Data gathering and implementation of modelling process automation
• Execution of PoC (proof of concept) or pilot projects and result evaluation to support deployment

• You are fluent in English (TME’s business language)
• You have a background or an interest in computer science (coding, data base and data structure, data science etc) and/or engineering (Mechanical design, CAE, etc)
• We value your experience with related engineering tools (FEM solvers like Nastran, LS-Dyna, Ansys, Abaqus) and scripting languages (preferably Python, but also Matlab, VBA, JS)
• We expect your ability to quickly learn on the job to close the gaps in needed competencies, critical thinking mindset and that you are not afraid to speak up and to propose further improvements
