Description

AECHELON TECHNOLOGY, INC. IS A LEADING PRODUCER OF 3D SIMULATOR CONTENT, INCLUDING GEOSPECIFIC VISUAL/SENSOR DATABASES AND REALISTIC 3D MODELS. WE SEEK PEOPLE WHO SHARE OUR PASSION FOR REAL-TIME COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND COMMITMENT TO OUR MISSION OF HELPING MAKE OUR NATION’S PILOTS SAFER. WE WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO WORK WITH SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE IN THE GRAPHICS INDUSTRY.

Our Software team is looking for a QA Test Engineer to help us in our mission. The QA Test Engineer role supports our Software, Database, and Systems Engineering teams by testing our proprietary Image Generator (pc-Nova) by creating automated tests via scripts as well as maintaining our proprietary test system. Our test system is designed to ensure that pc-Nova performs at high framerates on high-end hardware such as projectors, MR headsets, etc. This position requires Python programming expertise in order to maintain our current setup as well as build new test features as needed.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Aechelon successfully transitioned to a Hybrid Work model for a majority of employees. Since the QA Test Engineer position occasionally requires the use of in-office specialized hardware, including MR headsets and 120Hz testing configurations, the Hybrid Work requirement for this role consists of 2 days per week in-office at the company’s South San Francisco location, while the remaining 3 days per week can be worked remotely from a home office. Note that this requirement can change based on the applicant’s familiarity with our test system infrastructure.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

  • BA/BS in Computer Science OR equivalent work experience
  • At least 4 years work experience coding in Python and C++ (or similar coding languages)
  • At least 3 years experience with testing 3D graphics applications and/or content creation tools
  • Solid understanding of 3D graphics concepts
  • Good eye that can notice both technical and aesthetic problems with software
  • Experience with writing automated tests
  • Strong experience using command prompts (DOS, bash, etc)
  • Experience with project management for software using Jira (or similar)
  • Detail oriented with strong organizational and communication skills and tenacity to follow through
  • Eligibility to work with export-controlled technology
