Staff Software Quality Automation Engineer Mobile Automation

Role & responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable mobile automation frameworks using Appium for both iOS and Android applications.
• Perform hands-on BLE testing, including device discovery, pairing, connectivity, reconnection, data transfer, and connection stability.
• Develop and implement BYOD testing strategies covering multiple device manufacturers, models, OS versions, and real-world usage scenarios.
• Troubleshoot mobile application, Bluetooth connectivity, and mobile-to-hardware integration issues in collaboration with engineering teams.
• Build reusable automation scripts using Python or JavaScript.
• Design and execute REST API automation tests and validate backend integrations using tools such as Postman.
• Execute mobile tests across cloud-based real-device testing platforms such as BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or equivalent solutions.
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins or similar tools.
• Use AWS cloud infrastructure and Docker-based environments to support scalable test execution.
• Define automation architecture, testing standards, reusable components, and quality engineering best practices.
• Collaborate with development, DevOps, product, and hardware/firmware teams to identify defects and improve product quality.
• Lead technical discussions, mentor QA engineers, and drive continuous improvement in automation coverage and execution efficiency.
• Analyze test results, investigate failures, document defects, and provide actionable quality reports.

Mandatory Skills

• 10+ years of experience in QA engineering and test automation.
• Strong hands-on Appium experience across iOS and Android.
• Practical Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) testing experience.
• Experience designing BYOD and real-device compatibility testing strategies.
• Automation framework architecture and development.
• Python or JavaScript programming.
• REST API automation and Postman.
• BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, or equivalent cloud device testing platform.
• AWS cloud infrastructure.
• Docker/containerization.
• CI/CD pipeline integration, preferably Jenkins.
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and technical leadership skills.

Good to Have

• Healthcare, medical devices, or other regulated-industry experience.
• Experience collaborating with hardware and firmware engineering teams.
• Experience with distributed or remote engineering teams.
• Senior/Lead experience is required

Preferred candidate profile

Candidates should have strong hands-on mobile automation experience, with demonstrated expertise in BLE testing and device compatibility validation. Experience in general web automation alone will not be sufficient for this role.
