Additional Skills & Qualifications * Knowledge of industry standards and regulations, such as IEC-related standards. * Experience with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interaction testing, including pairing, reconnect behavior, retries, error states, and diagnosing failure modes across mobile, embedded devices, and cloud boundaries. * Familiarity with structured verification workflows and tooling, including test management and traceability systems. * Experience in regulated environments, such as medical devices or Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), particularly regulated mobile applications. * Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional engineering and product teams. * Attention to detail and a passion for building reliable, maintainable test automation solutions. Work Environment You will work in a modern, engineering-focused environment that emphasizes automation, reliability, and continuous improvement. The team uses Azure DevOps-based CI/CD pipelines, agile methodologies, and project management tools such as JIRA and ADO. You will collaborate closely with developers, verification engineers, DevOps specialists, and product owners, participating in design and code reviews and contributing to both feature development and test strategy. The environment supports structured verification workflows, test management, and traceability systems, particularly for mobile and potentially embedded or regulated products. Work focuses on mobile technologies including Flutter, iOS, Android (Kotlin), BLE interactions, and integration with cloud and embedded systems, with a strong emphasis on quality engineering and robust automated testing. ## Description This role blends hands-on software development with a strong focus on quality engineering and automated testing for mobile applications. You will contribute to both functional and non-functional testing, ensuring that features meet acceptance criteria and user story requirements while building scalable automation solutions around the Flutter platform and related mobile technologies., * Design, develop, and maintain robust automated test frameworks for UI, API, and integration testing across mobile applications. * Build scalable and reusable test automation solutions around the Flutter platform to support multiple product teams. * Integrate automated tests into CI/CD YAML pipelines using a test automation platform built on Azure DevOps. * Partner with the test automation platform team to enhance and extend the platform capabilities used by many product teams. * Collaborate with developers, verification engineers, and product owners to define test strategies, acceptance criteria, and quality goals. * Perform functional, regression, smoke, performance, and reliability testing to ensure high-quality releases. * Implement shift-left testing practices to embed quality early in the software development lifecycle. * Participate in design and code reviews to ensure testability, reliability, and adherence to quality standards. * Work closely with DevOps, the test automation platform team, and developers to improve release pipelines and automate reliability checks. * Partner with the development team to contribute to feature and functionality development where needed. * Design meaningful, deterministic tests aligned with requirements and risk controls. * Maintain and improve automated tests over time, focusing on reliability, stability, and ease of maintenance. ## Related Videos - [Applying DevOps in Flutter mobile development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/60-applying-devops-in-flutter-mobile-development) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [Intro to Flutter Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/170-intro-to-flutter-development) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Flutter Developer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/199-flutter-developer-salary-2023) - [A Guide to Choosing the Right Tools for App Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/391-a-guide-to-choosing-the-right-tools-for-app-developers) - [Basic And Advanced Networking in Dart and Flutter](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/112-basic-and-advanced-networking-in-dart-and-flutter) - [Cross Platform Mobile Development Frameworks to Use in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/404-cross-platform-mobile-development-frameworks-to-use-in-2025) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
