Technical Designer/Quality Assurance

Brightline Interactive is seeking a Technical Designer with a specialization in quality assurance. The candidate will be part of a software team building reusable, scalable, and robust solutions on our spatial‑computing platform by translating work requirements into highly detailed design documents and validating completed tasks against the written specification. This role requires a blend of strategic vision, software‑development expertise, and the ability to lead by example, setting high standards for execution, quality, configuration control, and documentation practices. The ideal candidate seeks a deep understanding of the projects they design for and has experience collaborating with program managers to ensure successful project delivery. The Technical Designer should be highly skilled and flexible in working within multiple government programs.

Technology Capabilities and Experience

• Minimum of 10 years in software development roles, with substantial experience leading technical design and QA efforts.
• Experience with the complete software‑development process, from initial design through delivery, following Agile and DevOps practices, while ensuring alignment with organizational goals and business strategy.
• Demonstrated success guiding cross‑functional technical teams, adhering to scope and schedule, delivering top quality results.
• Extensive experience with DevSecOps, including compliance requirements.
• Strong defect‑triage, root‑cause analysis, and performance‑profiling skills on target hardware (XR headsets, GPUs, edge devices) producing clear, reproducible defect reports.
• Experience in requirements authoring, design specification, and solution architecture.
• Extensive experience with Software Quality Assurance, including oversight of software integration, authoring test plans/ test activities and software quality metrics.
• Extensive experience leading system design reviews, testing validation and requirements traceability.
• Experience managing CI/CD pipelines and configuration control throughout the SDLC process.
• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (e.g., computer science, engineering) with exposure to 3D and spatial computing technologies such as Unity and Unreal Engine.

Nice to have:

• Background in LVC training or digital‑twin simulation programs.
• Working knowledge of government software assurance and cybersecurity standards (STIGs, RMF, NIST) and their integration into workflows.
• Understanding of UX requirements when building for virtual reality and video streaming ecosystems.
• Experience implementing AI workflows.
• Experience with USD.

What We Value:

• A collaborative, multidisciplinary team player with a hands-on approach and dedication to high standards.
• A commitment to advancing cutting-edge technologies and integrating new methodologies to enhance software quality and team efficiency.
• A passion for building and innovating within a high-growth, dynamic environment, where leadership is achieved through technical excellence and a clear vision.

This is an exceptional opportunity to take on a transformative role, where you’ll influence the future of spatial computing technology by setting standards, inspiring a talented team, and directly contributing to the development of industry-leading software solutions. Join us to lead, innovate, and shape the future of immersive and interactive technology!
