Senior Software Quality Engineer (F/M/D)
OUR VISION
When people use our technology to "bridge the gap" between the physical and digital worlds, they don’t just capture reality - they create a new one. In this new reality, they are smarter, more productive, more streamlined, and more creative - because they have the digital foundation to build the world they want to live in.
That’s what NavVis offers in all our products and services: the tools to not just map the world as it is, but to pave the way to a better future. To forge something new. Physical or digital, there is only one reality. And it’s the reality NavVis empowers people to build better.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Can you see yourself playing a key role in developing our cutting-edge, browser-based 3D application that creates high-quality, photorealistic digital twins? You would be an integral part of our team, working collaboratively on NavVis IVION—a platform that runs seamlessly in any modern web browser using open standards like WebGL. Give it a try yourself here.
As a Senior Software Quality Engineer, you won’t just test features—you will define how quality is built into a complex, large-scale system from the ground up.
If you are eager to use your creativity and technical strengths to bring great new features in close collaboration with our other engineering experts, then we have to talk!
