As a QA Engineer at Nacelle, you will be a voice of quality and a cheerleader of our organization-wide testing mindset.

You will have ample opportunity to design creative and novel approaches to automating the assessment of quality. We aren’t maintaining a legacy test code base here; there is bountiful greenfield work waiting for your unique perspective.
