    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
