In This Role

As a Lab/Test Engineer 2, you will support the quality and release validation of innovative Mixed Reality (MR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications and immersive experiences. You will perform hands-on manual, exploratory, regression, compatibility, and automated testing across VR/MR devices and software platforms. You will validate new features, software updates, bug fixes, releases, and hotfixes while investigating product performance, usability, reliability, and potential quality risks.

You will 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. You will also help determine appropriate test coverage, monitor release readiness, communicate risks and blockers, and provide regular status updates. This is a highly hands-on role that requires frequent use of VR/MR headsets and specialized testing equipment.

• 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.
• Proactively communicate quality concerns and help drive issue resolution with engineering partners.
