Navigation QA Engineer

Tokyo Office March 7, 2026 Full Time
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: You will be responsible for ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of our 2W Navigation system. In this role, you will test core navigation features including route planning, POI search, map rendering, GPS/GNSS/IMU integration,  Bluetooth connectivity, and CAN communications. You will take full ownership of the QA Process—from test planning and execution to defect tracking and reporting—while collaborating closely with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders. Beyond desk-based validation, you will also be responsible for organizing and conducting test riding activities, collecting real-world data, and proactively identifying issues that impact user experience and safety. You will analyze navigation logs, and system behavior to uncover insights, escalate critical findings, and recommend improvements. This role values initiative and leadership: you are expected not only to execute tests but also to self-initiate and develop tools that improve testing efficiency and accuracy, as well as advocate for automation where possible. Ultimately, your work will ensure that our riders enjoy a seamless and reliable navigation experience.
