Our Mission:
Driving technology always feels old. Not by a little bit. We believe vehicles can be a thousand times smarter, safer, and more connected to the world around us, and our mission is to see it happen. In 2019, we joined forces with Honda as their first startup acquisition, and now we’re expanding our vision into building the future of electric vehicles (BEV) for millions of people around the world.

Why Drivemode: 
Join Drivemode for an exciting startup environment and a vibrant culture that combines impactful work, competitive compensation, and excellent benefits. By becoming a part of our team, you'll contribute to a crucial mission that revolutionizes the way people engage with vehicles, addressing both business needs and the world's environmental challenges. This presents an exceptional opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and drive Honda's success in the EV market.
 
About The Role:
Drivemode is looking for a Senior Product Designer to help define how people interact with new electric vehicles. Our designers are involved in every step of the process, from gathering data, brainstorming, prototyping, to launching end-to-end experiences with Honda’s powerful hardware capabilities. You’ll start with the hands-on development of a companion app for the new generation of electric vehicles for Honda and Acura brands. Next, you will be expanding into interior digital components and other parts of the overall driving user experience.
 
We are looking for candidates who have strong user empathy, hunger to solve problems, and excellent technical communication skills. You will also help Drivemode hire and mentor new designers as our team expands with new projects.
