Full Job Description
Job Summary
Help shape the quality of the tools engineers and scientists use to write, test, and debug MATLAB code.
As a Software Engineer in Test on the MATLAB Editor, you'll uphold the standard of quality that impacts thousands of users every day through MATLAB's coding and editing capabilities across development environments.You will build the automation, test infrastructure, and quality tools behind MATLAB's web-based development experiences including the MATLAB Editor and Command Window.
This is an engineering-focused quality role with significant technical ownership.
You will develop scalable UI test automation, improve test frameworks and product testability, and use data to identify quality risks before they reach customers.
You will work with complex JavaScript applications across multiple browsers and environments, addressing functional quality, accessibility, reliability, and performance.
You will collaborate closely with software developers, product teams, and user experience researchers throughout the development lifecycle. Your work will influence requirements, architecture, engineering practices, and release decisions-not just validate the finished product.
You will also have opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives, explore practical uses of AI in software engineering, and help advance quality engineering practices across MathWorks.
