Job Description

Join the leader in entertainment innovation and help us design the future. At Dolby, science meets art, and high tech means more than computer code. As a member of the Dolby team, you’ll see and hear the results of your work everywhere, from movie theaters to smartphones. We continue to revolutionize how people create, deliver, and enjoy entertainment worldwide. To do that, we need the absolute best talent. We’re big enough to give you all the resources you need, and small enough so you can make a real difference and earn recognition for your work. We offer a collegial culture, challenging projects, and excellent compensation and benefits, not to mention a Flex Work approach that is truly flexible to support where, when, and how you do your best work.

The role

For Dolby's PC Applications, you will support the quality, stability, and reliability of consumer-facing native Windows applications used at global scale. This role focuses on desktop software validation, test automation, and release quality for client-side applications. It is not focused on web application testing, or data quality engineering.
As a Software Quality Engineer, you contribute to validating features and ensuring reliable releases, working under guidance while building ownership of test areas.

What we offer

  • The opportunity to work on a consumer‑facing application with visible user impact.
  • A collaborative team environment that values learning and quality.
  • Support for professional growth and skill development.

What you will do

  • Execute manual and exploratory tests for assigned features or application areas.
  • Design, execute, and maintain test cases based on requirements and specifications.
  • Design, implement, and maintain automated tests using Python and existing automation frameworks.
  • Participate in release validation, regression testing, smoke testing, and automated test execution.
  • Clearly report defects and work with software engineers to support investigation and resolution.
  • Maintain basic test documentation and contribute to improving test coverage over time. 

What you bring

Required:

  • Experience in Software Quality Assurance (SQA) or quality engineering for consumer or client-side software.
  • Hands-on experience with manual testing, including test case design, execution, exploratory testing, and defect reporting.
  • Experience with test automation and scripting using Python or similar programming languages.
  • Good understanding of software testing fundamentals and quality engineering practices.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD based development and validation workflows.
  • Ability to analyse, debug, and reason about issues.
  • Good communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with engineering and product teams.
  • Experience using AI-assisted tools to support software testing, test automation, or engineering productivity.

Nice to have

  • Experience building or extending automated test suites in Python.
  • Experience testing Windows-based desktop or platform-level applications.

About Dolby Laboratories

We're the rain on the roof in a movie. The music flowing through your earbuds when you're at the gym. The footsteps lurking behind you in a video game. The voice of a colleague on a call who seems to be right next to you. The sight of a breathtakingly bright and vivid sunset on your TV.

Making experiences come alive through technology is what we do. It's been our mission since day one.

It began with our founder, Ray Dolby, a visionary scientist and inventor. As a young engineer and music lover, he was driven to improve the listening experience. And with that simple motivation, plus countless hours of experimentation, he created a solution—a solution that was elegant and practical, highly sophisticated, and wholly devoted to the artist's vision. Even as we've become a global company, Dolby Laboratories continues to reflect Ray Dolby's values. Here, science meets art. And high tech goes far beyond computer code.

Founded in 1965 and headquartered in San Francisco, Dolby has grown into a leading global innovator and developer of audio, imaging and voice technologies for cinema, home theaters, PCs, mobile phones, and games. Our products include Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, Dolby Voice, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Today, over 2,000 individuals around the globe share their talents and energy to enable the most immersive experiences that technology can deliver.
