Tester

Accountabilities

• Test Execution: Test development builds across aircraft, scenery, and related products by following assigned test plans while independently exploring potential issues and unexpected behavior.


• Bug Identification & Reporting: Identify, reproduce, document, and report defects with clear descriptions, reproduction steps, screenshots, videos, and other relevant evidence.


• Fix Verification: Verify resolved issues and perform regression testing to ensure fixes work as expected and do not introduce new problems elsewhere.


• Quality Assessment: Evaluate product functionality, visual quality, performance, usability, and overall user experience across a variety of scenarios and configurations.


• Technical Investigation: Isolate issues systematically and provide developers with the information needed to investigate and resolve reported problems.


• Team Collaboration: Communicate findings clearly with developers and other testers, provide constructive feedback, and contribute to collaborative problem-solving.


• Task Management: Organize assigned testing activities efficiently, manage changing workloads, and meet testing deadlines throughout development and release cycles.


• Testing Standards: Follow established testing workflows, reporting standards, confidentiality requirements, and quality-assurance procedures.


• Evidence Collection: Use appropriate screenshot and screen-recording tools to provide accurate visual evidence supporting reported issues.


• Continuous Improvement: Take a proactive approach to investigating unusual behavior and contribute to improving the overall quality and reliability of products.

• Flight Simulation Knowledge: Strong familiarity with Microsoft Flight Simulator and hands-on experience using aircraft and scenery add-ons.


• Testing Approach: Excellent attention to detail and a structured, methodical approach to evaluating software and identifying defects.


• Bug Reporting: Ability to describe technical issues clearly and accurately in written English, including precise reproduction steps and relevant supporting evidence.


• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical skills and the ability to isolate issues, identify patterns, and reproduce problems consistently.


• Independence & Collaboration: Comfortable working independently while also collaborating effectively with developers and testers in a fast-paced environment.


• Time Management: Ability to work accurately and efficiently while managing varying workloads, priorities, and deadlines.


• Flexibility: Willingness to adapt to testing schedules and collaborate with colleagues working across different time zones.


• Technical Setup: Access to a PC capable of running the relevant simulator and products reliably for testing purposes.


• Testing Experience: Previous experience in software testing, quality assurance, structured beta testing, or a similar environment is preferred.


• Testing Tools: Familiarity with bug-tracking systems, collaboration platforms, and writing detailed technical issue reports is an advantage.


• Domain Interest: Genuine interest in aviation, flight simulation, gaming, aircraft systems, or airport scenery.


• Product Testing: Experience testing different simulator products, particularly aircraft systems and airport scenery, is beneficial.


• Mindset: Proactive, curious, and comfortable investigating unexpected behavior rather than simply following predefined test cases.


• Communication: Confident providing constructive feedback and discussing technical findings with development and testing teams.


• Software: Strong familiarity with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is required; familiarity with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is beneficial.


• Education: No specific degree is required; practical testing ability, simulator knowledge, attention to detail, and relevant experience are the key considerations.

• Paid Opportunity: Paid contractor role with the opportunity to contribute directly to product quality.


• Remote Work: Fully remote working arrangement.


• Product Exposure: Hands-on involvement with upcoming aircraft, scenery, and product updates throughout development.


• Professional Development: Opportunity to strengthen software-testing, quality-assurance, troubleshooting, and bug-reporting skills.


• Industry Knowledge: Gain deeper experience with flight simulation products, aircraft systems, scenery, and simulator platforms.


• Collaborative Environment: Work closely with developers and fellow testers within a supportive, technically focused team.


• Global Collaboration: Opportunity to work with an international team across different time zones.


• Flexible Testing Environment: Exposure to varied testing schedules and workloads throughout development and release periods.
