The Role

We’re looking for a QA Engineer who loves games, sweats the details, and enjoys learning new technology. Motion-based QA is different from traditional game QA: you’ll test with your whole body in real-world environments (lighting, room sizes, player heights, 1–4 players, etc.). Prior motion-gaming experience is not required—strong QA fundamentals and a learning mindset are.

What You'll Do

- Create and execute test plans and test cases for motion-based games and the Nex Playground experience.

- Validate core player experience for living-room play: onboarding, clarity, responsiveness, and “is this fun and understandable?”

- Test motion-game fundamentals such as responsiveness/latency, recognition consistency, occlusion handling, and edge cases.

- Perform functional, usability, regression, localization, and device/compatibility testing across the product surface area.

- Write excellent bug reports with clear repro steps, expected vs. actual results, environment details, and short video captures when helpful.

- Collaborate cross-functionally: clarify requirements, ask good questions, and flag risk areas early.
