Are you passionate about automotive design?

japanese classesWe are looking for talented people who can integrate their dreams with Toyota’s renowned design philosophy.

If you want to be part of an inspiring company that is one of the leaders in global business, Toyota Technical Center Australia (TTC-AU) is the place to be. We design high-quality cars that reach the hearts of customers in Australia, Asia and around the world.

TTC-AU’s commitment to excellence extends to its people. Investing heavily in professional development, we are dedicated to providing world-class learning opportunities in a global environment.

The first six months for our engineering graduate trainees consist of comprehensive CAD and other systems training, extensive Japanese language training and an induction into Toyota’s business and engineering philosophies.

Succeeding with Toyota requires developing design skills that are no longer tied to geography. All designers will benefit from a global expertise to design cars with international appeal and local relevance.

To help our engineers fully understand The Toyota Way of engineering and to help broaden and deepen their technical skills, many of our engineers generally spend up to 2 years out of every 5 years of their career working in Toyota locations overseas.

Overseas Assignments

Every year many of our engineers travel to other countries to undertake overseas assignments - or as we call them Intra-Company Transfers (ICTs). In spite of our short company history, already our engineers have completed numerous ICT assignments; the majority in Japan, but also in Thailand and the US. The first ICT assignment for our engineering graduate trainees is usually located at the Global Technical Center in Japan where they gain familiarity with specific design projects and the Toyota approach to global automotive design and development.

For our support and administration staff, tailored development programs combining on-the-job training and targeted courses are provided, as we are committed to ensuring that all of our employees reach their potential.
