Design and implement test plans for desktop tools supporting 3D printing workflows. Reproduce and triage bugs with applications engineers, drive desktop software releases, and collaborate with DevOps and software engineering teams to automate testing. The role requires understanding CAD-like applications, desktop software testing or 3D printing, and working effectively with technical software users.
Position Overview
We develop a suite of tools to prepare, validate and monitor jobs for our 3D printers. These tools present users with a 3D view of the CAD models, allow them to add supports and other markup, show the resulting print instructions and help monitor long running compute processes to prepare the files.
We need a QA Engineer who is able to design tests from the perspective of a 3D printing applications engineer and consistently implement those tests as part of our validation and release processes. Additional responsibilities will include coordinating and driving our release process and working with our dev ops and software engineering teammates to automate tests that can be automated.
