Description
THE BIG PICTURE
Did you develop a “test plan” before buying your first car? Do you take things apart just so that you can see what makes them tick? Is the statement “Quality is #1” an understatement? If you answered yes to the above questions then DivX would like to hear from you. We’re looking for a Quality Assurance Engineering Manager to lead a QA team in maintaining a high quality bar on our next generation of media technologies for PCs, Macs, Linux, servers, embedded systems and consumer electronics devices.
Our video creation and playback technologies power millions of consumer electronics devices, from DVD players to portable media players, mobile phones, digital cameras, home media servers, and the list goes on. To make it this far in the CE business, we had to ensure seamless interoperability of DivX content and devices across different platforms and competing brand names. This requires insight, quality, precision and rock-solid engineering.
The ideal candidate for this position will have strong leadership skills, be well-versed in managing Quality Assurance Engineers and developing software testing methodologies, is team driven, never territorial and a poster child of Theory Y. If this sounds like you and you think you have what it takes, then we’d like to hear from you. Send us your resume.
