Software Quality Assurance Tester – Distributed 3D Simulation

MAK Technologies•Orlando, FL

20h•Onsite

About The Position

Do you love pushing the limits of what 3D graphics and distributed games can do? We are looking for a dynamic, hands-on Software QA Tester who thrives on breaking complex systems and making them better. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to follow checklists all day — we need someone who enjoys exploring immersive, networked virtual environments and thinking creatively about how to test them. On-site work in MAK’s Orlando office is mandatory for this position. MAK Technologies (MAK) develops commercial off-the-shelf 3D modeling, training, and simulation software that helps users link, simulate, and visualize their world. MAK’s primary users are in the aerospace, defense, and transportation industries, yet its products and services can help customers anywhere modeling and simulation is needed to train, plan, analyze, experiment, prototype, and demonstrate. MAK’s customers include the top ten defense integrators in the world along with hundreds of companies in Defense, Air Traffic Management, Command & Control, and Homeland Security. MAK also develops training solutions for the United States and International militaries to address individual and collective training. MAK is dedicated to serving its customers by building flexible products, offering superior technical support, and innovating new ways to enhance readiness through uniquely tailored training solutions.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Game Development, or related field — or equivalent hands-on experience testing/playing with complex distributed games and virtual environments.
Strong grasp of VR hardware/software, game engines, and 3D rendering pipelines.
Experience testing complex, graphics-heavy applications (Unreal, Unity, VBS, or similar).
Curious, dynamic mindset — someone who enjoys experimenting, exploring, and breaking things in distributed systems.
Excellent communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with automated testing frameworks and scripting.
Exposure to Agile/Scrum workflows and tools like Jira/Confluence.
Prior experience supporting simulation or training systems under U.S. Government or DoD contracts, including an understanding of compliance, documentation, and testing workflows.
Knowledge of contract‑driven test requirements such as acceptance testing, verification/validation.
Candidates with prior military experience are encouraged to apply.
Experience developing installation procedures, operator manuals, or supporting student training is highly beneficial.

Responsibilities

Design and execute test plans focused on real‑world scenarios in large‑scale, networked environments.
Explore and stress‑test immersive 3D simulations, including performance, graphics, and multi‑user interoperability.
Work closely with developers to validate new features and identify issues before customers encounter them.
Log, track, and communicate issues clearly using Jira.
Experiment with automation and scripting to streamline repeatable test scenarios.
Support client demonstrations, occasional trade shows, and customer visits.
Ideally: contribute to installation instruction development, operator manual creation, and assisting with student training.
