  The Challenge Ahead: 

  Associate Quality Designers perform an important role in game development, supporting iterative development of AAA game titles. Essentially, you are the expert and voice of quality for an assigned game, franchise or feature.

Analysts steer the quality of features and content throughout the game development process.

  What an Associate Quality Designer does at EA:

  The Associate Quality Designer role applies both white-box and black-box testing methodologies, using data and automated testing to identify bugs as early as possible in the development cycle. They review designs to ensure that the title reduces the amount of bugs it creates and they provide feedback on the “fun” factor to help bring our games to the next level! 

  Additionally you will investigate and track relevant data from assigned projects for KPI reporting, contribute to the development and follow-up of test plans and materials, and escalate critical issues and risks to Development and QA partners.
