Toyota Motor North America Research & Development and an Engineering Culture
What is an engineering culture?
At Toyota Motor North America Research & Development (R&D), it’s kaizen and collaboration, and the best dang engineers around creating products our customers love.
R&D engineers lead design and development for Camry, Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia and Sienna. They also play a key role in development of Corolla, Corolla Cross, RAV4, Highlander, Grand Highlander, Lexus ES, Lexus NX and Lexus RX.
That’s not to mention advanced mobility projects, powertrain development, quality and materials, among plenty of other things.
Being an engineer at Toyota is a dream job for many, and that shows in the drive that R&D engineers bring to their work every day.
To better understand the engineering culture at R&D, we asked three standouts their thoughts on what it means to be an engineer at Toyota R&D.

A modern era for used vehicles: GM’s Certified Pre-Owned program merges with CarBravo
Hot take: used-car shopping doesn’t have to feel like pulling teeth. It can be convenient, value-driven, and even a little fun. Starting June 2, U.S. Chevrolet, Buick and GMC certified used vehicle sales programs will come together under one modern, easy-to-love platform, CarBravo, that makes it simpler to find the right ride, price, coverage and experience, all in one place.
This is not the launch of a new program, but an evolution of one that has been in market for more than three years. CarBravo will become GM’s sole used vehicle certification program for U.S. Chevrolet, Buick and GMC dealers and allow them to certify and sell GM and non-GM makes and models. Cadillac will continue operating its own independent Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, and GM Canada will maintain a traditional CPO structure tailored to that market.
