Job Description

Cloud Imperium Games is looking for an Embedded QA Specialist to join our team working on Star Citizen, with a focus on vehicles and related content. As an Embedded QA Specialist, you'll work directly with our vehicle development teams to ensure the highest quality of content is delivered into the game. You'll be embedded within the production workflow, collaborating closely with developers, designers, and QA to validate features, track bugs, and maintain test documentation.


In this role, you'll be the voice of QA within the vehicle team -- helping identify issues early, ensuring robust testing coverage, and supporting the team with detailed documentation and feedback.


Founded in 2012, Cloud Imperium Games creates cutting-edge videogames that defy expectations. We're currently developing Star Citizen, a record-breaking multiplayer online space sim, and Squadron 42, a cinematic single-player adventure set in the same universe. Join us as we break boundaries and make videogame history.


We are a crowdfunded company and have a dedicated and enthusiastic community of backers who are helping us create the "Best Damn Space Sim Ever".

What you'll be doing:

Working closely with developers to test in-progress features and content, focusing on vehicles and related systems. Executing and maintaining test cases, checklists, and documentation using tools like Confluence and JIRA. Reporting and verifying bugs clearly and accurately, while staying familiar with ongoing issues in your area. Representing QA in team stand-ups and syncs, providing updates on quality, risks, and feature health. Helping coordinate with other QA teams to share knowledge, testing scope, and cross-feature insights. Creating daily handoff notes and supporting remote studios with up-to-date system knowledge.

What we expect from you:

A keen eye for detail and a proactive mindset -- you take ownership of your work and follow through. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, especially when translating technical issues into clear feedback. The ability to work independently or as part of a team, managing your time effectively in a fast-paced environment. A solid understanding of QA processes, issue tracking, and documentation standards. Confidence using tools like JIRA and Confluence, and an awareness of how your systems interact with the broader game. A passion for vehicles, gameplay systems, and building great player experiences.
