As QA Lead, you will have direct influence over the quality of one of the most technically ambitious sandbox games in the industry. You will work alongside experienced developers, own critical release decisions, and help shape how quality is built into every part of the development process.

House, QA is not a support function. It is one of the disciplines directly responsible for the success of every release. We are looking for a QA Lead to take full ownership of the quality of Space Engineers.

You will lead a team of six experienced QA professionals while being accountable for release stability, testing strategy, quality standards, and continuous improvement across the project. We are looking for someone who naturally takes ownership, identifies risks before they become problems, drives quality across teams, and ensures that every release reaches players in the best possible state. If you believe quality is built throughout development, not just tested at the end, you will fit right in.

Define testing priorities based on project risks,



production goals, and player impact. Establish and continuously improve QA processes, workflows, and quality standards. Collaborate closely with Engineering, Design, Production, and Community teams to identify risks early and resolve them efficiently.
