**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.
• Write excellent bug reports with clear repro steps, expected vs. actual results, environment details, and short video captures when helpful.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: clarify requirements, ask good questions, and flag risk areas early.

What We're Looking For

• 1–2 years of experience in IT or the game industry (or equivalent hands-on experience).
• Strong understanding of QA methodologies, tools, and processes.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Good command of written and spoken English.
• Hands-on comfort with hardware and TV setups, including basic troubleshooting (network, setup flows, updates)
• Willingness to perform physical movements during testing and appear in internal test recordings.
• A genuine interest in games and player experience—especially party/family-friendly titles.

Nice to Have

• Cantonese and/or Mandarin fluency
• Experience testing camera-based, motion, AR, or computer vision products.
• Experience testing multiplayer/local co-op or party games.
• Familiarity with Unity, Android-based hardware, or mobile gaming.
• Experience setting up consumer electronics (TVs, consoles, streaming devices).
• Experience with test automation or scripting (even small personal projects).

We Offer

• Competitive compensation package.
• Flexible working hours and vacation policy.
• Product-driven culture that treasures talents and individual growth.
• Front-row seat and hands-on experience with cutting edge technologies in the evolving gaming field
