We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.\nWe’re looking for a Desktop QA Engineer to take ownership of our desktop software quality processes and automated testing across multi-platform desktop applications.\nIn this role, you’ll work at the intersection of OS-level validation and automated UI testing, collaborating closely with software engineers, product managers, and hardware teams in an Agile environment. You will design desktop automation frameworks, audit system resource consumption, and validate seamless compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux ecosystems.\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\nConduct functional, manual, and automated testing for desktop applications across targeted operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux)\n\nBuild and manage UI automation scripts tailored to desktop environments (e.g., WinAppDriver, PyWinAuto, Appium for desktop)\n\nAudit system resource consumption (CPU, RAM usage, memory leaks, disk I/O) during prolonged application runtime\n\nTest software installation packages, silent background updates, uninstallation processes, and backward compatibility\n\nValidate application behavior across various display resolutions, custom hardware configurations, and connected peripherals\n\nPerform exploratory testing, create and execute detailed test plans, and manage defect lifecycle tracking in tools like ClickUp\n\nSet up clean, reproducible test environments using virtualization tools (VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V)\n\nWHAT WE EXPECT\nDegree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or equivalent practical experience\n\nSolid understanding of QA principles, test design techniques, boundary value analysis, and end-to-end SDLC in Agile/Scrum environments\n\nIn-depth knowledge of Windows, macOS, or Linux operating system architectures, file systems, and registries\n\nPractical experience with desktop automation frameworks (e.g., WinAppDriver, PyWinAuto, Ranorex, AutoIt)\n\nProficiency using system diagnostic tools (e.g., Task Manager, Process Explorer, Xcode Instruments, Valgrind) to track memory leaks and performance spikes\n\nHands-on experience with virtualization tools (VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V) to build isolated test environments\n\nPractical experience with bug-tracking tools (Jira, ClickUp, Confluence) and version control (Git)\n\nExceptional analytical skills, sharp attention to detail, and a proactive mindset toward defect prevention and root-cause analysis\n\nExcellent written and spoken English skills with strong collaborative traits\n\nWHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE \nOur office is a drone testing playground, and every day starts with an idea no one has tried before. We move fast, learn constantly, and foster a culture of innovation. With flexible working hours, real hands-on testing, and a team that challenges the limits of technology, working at Orqa means working on the edge of what’s possible.\nAnd that’s just the beginning - here are a few more reasons why you’ll love working at Orqa:\nPerformance-based bonuses\n\nMeal and transportation compensation\n\nKindergarten expenses coverage and newborn bonus\n\nInternal workshops & lectures\n\nCareer development & growth opportunities within a fast-scaling tech environment\n\nExtra vacation days\n\nOn-site massages - our professional masseur regularly visits the office to help you recharge\n\nPassSport Card - access to gyms and wellness centers\n\nComprehensive annual health check-up\n\nEngaging internal events & team-building activities\n\nIf you're passionate about desktop test automation, OS-level performance tuning, and software stability, and enjoy turning complex desktop applications into seamless, high-performance real-world products - we'd love to hear from you.\nWe’re proud to be an equal-opportunity employer and are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and supportive workplace.
