Stop fooling around. It’s time to get hardcore about software. With Microsoft. We have proven to be the industry leader in the 80s, but that isn’t enough — we will also become the dominant software of the 90’s. In our bid for excellence, we’ve broken ground with our OS/2, Networking, Lan guages, and Application products. In order to maintain our high degree of quality, we’re looking for the best. If you’re serious about the development process, we want to talk to you. Work as a team with our developers to release world-class, quality products. Identify strengths and weaknesses in our future software and be responsible for implementing the necessary changes to make it the best in the industry. We have opportunities in the following test engineering areas: Systems As an Engineer in our Systems test groups, you will be intimately involved in the systems development process. You will become an expert on the internals of our state-of-the-art OS/2, networks, and compilers. You will design and code sophisticated software that exercises/tests new systems, including (hidden) “under the cover” features that only low-level program mers see. If you have strong coding skills, want to debug problems right into the systems software, and be part of the design effort that determines how the system will be implemented, Systems is the place for you. Knowl edge of C and Assembly language preferred. Applications As an Engineer in our Applications test groups, you will design, execute, and document test suites for our applications software. You will generate test scripts, testing products for robustness, noting limitations, and con ducting real-world environment testing. If you have a 4-year degree in Computer Science or a related field, solid problem-solving skills, the abil ity to learn a new product quickly, and a knack for breaking software, Applications is the place for you. Previous experience with software testing a definite plus. Microsoft will be interviewing on campus Tuesday, November 29, 1988 for Software Testers. See your placement office for details. We are an equal opportunity employer. M Microsoft
