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.

Note that this requirement can change based on the applicant's familiarity with our test system infrastructure. United States citizenship required due to restrictions on access to certain data. Responsibilities will include, but not be limited to the following: Maintain the proprietary Python code for our automated test system; Maintain + expand our Jenkins scripting to improve our automated test suite; Create new automation scripts for complex testing requirements (stress tests, performance tests, special features, etc); Create and maintain an image diffing test suite; Develop test plans and design automated tests using our proprietary test system; Perform manual testing on new features for software releases when needed; Communicate with other team members across time zones; Be a resource for others to learn from about how to use our test system; Help to document our test system for internal and external users.
