The Challenge Ahead

As an Associate Quality Designer, you are the voice of quality and player experience for one of EA’s AAA sports titles. On our American Football titles, quality isn’t just about finding bugs: it’s about making sure the game feels right.

You will play the game in a structured, analytical way, evaluating how features perform against design intent, realism, and player expectations. You’ll identify issues, call out risks, and suggest improvements to help shape the experience throughout development and Live Services.

In many ways, you are the game’s first real player, representing our audience and helping ensure the final experience lives up to the sport we all love.

What an Associate Quality Designer Does at EA

• Review designs and provide feedback to help prevent defects before they’re built

• Analyze gameplay, systems, and data to assess quality, balance, and overall fun

• Test gameplay features and content using both structured test cases and exploratory play

• Apply black-box and white-box testing methodologies to identify issues early in development

• Track bugs, risks, and insights clearly and effectively using our internal tools

• Contribute to test plans, reporting, and KPI tracking for your assigned areas
