**Location: Hong Kong (Onsite)
Type: Full Time**
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.
