You'll perform hands-on manual, exploratory, regression, compatibility, and automated testing across VR/MR devices and software platforms, validating new features, software updates, bug fixes, releases, and hotfixes while investigating product performance, usability, reliability, and potential quality risks.

You’ll work closely with software developers and cross-functional partners to reproduce and troubleshoot defects, evaluate customer-reported issues, maintain test documentation, and drive issues through resolution.

Document, prioritize, and report software defects using bug tracking and test management systems.

Reproduce reported issues and work with developers to troubleshoot problems and drive timely resolution.

Monitor defect resolution and maintain accurate, prioritized defect tracking.

Create and maintain test plans, test cases, release checklists, validation procedures, and quality reports.

Analyze test results and identify quality gaps, release risks, and opportunities to improve test coverage.

Investigate customer-reported issues, crash reports, and other high-impact product issues.

Triage customer feedback and migrate issues into centralized tracking systems as appropriate.

Monitor product quality and performance throughout the release cycle.

Provide daily updates regarding testing progress, release readiness, risks, and blockers.

Experience analyzing test results and providing actionable recommendations regarding software quality.

Familiarity with bug tracking and test management tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar platforms.

Strong troubleshooting, debugging, root cause investigation, and problem solving skills.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Ability to work effectively with software developers and cross-functional teams.
